My wife is an US citizen who applied for me. On July 31, 2017, I attended my immigrant visa interview at US Embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh. At the end of interview, Consulate Officer told me that my interview is approved and could collect my passport with visa within 10 to 15 days. They did not give me any blue slip. They kept my passport and other documents. When I returned home, I found that Ceac status is showing "Administrative Processing". But, same day it changed to "Ready". Ceac status was "Ready" for 70 days. I contacted couple times with embassy, they always reply same thing in different way that my case is required "additional processing" or "additional review".

 

Yesterday, my Ceac status again change to "Administrative Processing" . No idea what they are doing. Is it a good sign or bad sign that my case change to "Administrative Processing"  from "Ready" after 70 days. Thanks.

The person you’re asking hasn’t been on the forum for nearly 3 years, this is a very old thread. But everybody’s AP will vary depending on the reasons for it and the checks being done. It can take weeks, months or even years. A senator isn’t likely to have any effect, you can sue for a decision if it’s been a long time.
