Yes. They email you to schedule and get a new medical examination when the AP is over. Hopefully soon!!!

 

Currently at 10th month AP. I've emailed the embassy back when my medical was about to expire they assured me they'd email me once the AP is over to get a new one along with new photos.

 

Oh big thanks to you!!! I thought we have to do it during the ap!!! Where’re you applying from? Any updates to your case since went to ap??

Hello

we was asked to fill DS 5535 after the interview. do you have any idea how long it takes?

we received administrative processing after 10 days we received an email asking to fill DS 5535 by email.

Can you tell me who the email was from?   Supposedly my husband is getting this according to NVC; but he cannot find it in his email.

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Thank you for writing to our office.  Your immigrant visa case has been refused under INA Section 221(g) for administrative processing, an integral part of the visa adjudication and issuance process that can neither be expedited nor waived.  Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict the amount of time the processing will take and timing varies based on the individual circumstances of each case.  The visa application will be reconsidered when administrative processing is complete.

 

Please be assured that we are aware of your concerns and will process the application to completion as quickly as possible, in accordance with U.S. laws.  We recognize that this process can be frustrating for applicants and regret any inconvenience. 

 

Sincerely,

Have you ever tried contacting them by fax rather than email? Maybe you can get a better response?

Hi Meriem,

 

I have applied for a B1/B2 visa as well and had my interview last year in September: from what I read in this lengthy thread I strongly believe that when it comes to AP the visa type has no significance, your main nationality/passport/country of origin does.

 

Regarding the last point you asked, as a Moroccan who lives in Europe I tend to believe that residing or even just travelling to Europe, to certain European countries in particular, is not going to help in anyway. Long travel histories may  create longer processing if not just some suspicion. I came to realize that unfortunately for us Moroccans there seems to be a fairly harsh treatment when it comes to US visas.

 

Hopefully you will get your visa soon.

Did you get the Visa or not yet ?

I heard about someone who applied in Casablanca in August and get his Visa in September after AP !

Yup and yup 

None

 No age difference and no red flags the only thing  is that my fiance lived in London for 9 years.

 my question here is  does administrative process starts from the the day you got the interview  or  the time they receive the ds 5535
