Hey everyone! My fiancé had his interview June 16th where they took his passport and the CO said they needed to look into our application more. On June 20th he received an email for more chat logs between us (they didn't even take what he brought to the interview) and the case tracker shows they were received June 23rd. Our case has since been in AP and we don't know what to do. Does anyone have insight on approximate wait time? Should I get my congressman involved at some point? Thank you in advance!

Hey Lowens8! Try not to worry to much, something similar happened to us. Our interview was mid-March and we were also placed in AP. I worried like crazy and stayed up many nights racking my brains out trying to figure out what to do. From what I understand, a Congressman or Senator, can do little...but worth a try. Typically they ask you wait 90 days before contacting the Embassy. I started early on, however after thye requested additional evidence - emails, pictures and Skype logs - they approved us without me even sending them anything. Basically, it took about a month and a half for them to do additional background checks. We were approved April 29th and I did not even realize it until May 5th. Stay calm and think positive. It is a very good sign that they kept his passport. :) I think you will be okay.

Thank you! We've also been trying to figure out why when other people are just getting approved at the interview. Hopefully ours won't take 90 days ?. But it does help knowing other people have gone through long AP after the interview and were approved ?

Thanks again!
