No one can tell you how long AP will lasts, it varies from case to case and will take as long as it takes.

If you need to travel, you can ask the embassy for your passport to be returned in the interim.

No one knows how long that takes, for me it's 6 months so far and I'm still waitin...

All I can tell you is NOT to wait, get your passport back and do what you gotta do

It varies from embassy to embassy and case to case

I thought my AP would be 3 months as the consulate officer told me so but that wasn't true

I'm just living my life and pretending I'm not waiting for anything

Good luck
