Appreciate your reply. They dont have my passport although they have my family's passports. I went to a college in USA and have a job lined up through work authorizaton that is granted to internstionl students. If this this takes too long and they havent called my passport yet, I might miss on the job opportunity

interesting. So your case may be different. Are you travelling to USA? IF they havent requested your passport yet, it might mean something different. 

 

If you are travelling to USA for a job opportunity that you have won already and have a valid visa, why wouldnt you be allowed to travel? I would consult a lawyer in your circumstance instead of relying on people on this forum for input because your travel seems to be dependent on your career and i would hate for you to trust the word of someone like me who isnt a lawyer.

Im not worried about not being able to travel. I'm wondering if i travel now, wuld that affect my AP like would it stay longer in AP because i travelled. Im in a tricky situation where If i dont travel soon my job will be gone and ill be only relying my sponsorship visa which im not sure when is gonna come in. do you think second medical means, they are ready to issue visa?

Ask a lawyer if you can travel to USA and they can complete your AP process there as your employer will probably be sponsoring you till then. Again, in your circumstance, i highly suggest reaching out to a lawyer for an opinion.

AP/security checks will not be completed after visa applicant is in the USA.  Just doesn’t work like that.

We had second medical and pics requested. We have been waiting for almost a week now and see no update. They also state not to reach out for at least 4 weeks from the doc submission date. 

Also I have been in AP since last year August.

I mean just what I said, in response to the person who suggested asking a lawyer if AP can be completed once in the USA.  That's not how that works.

How can you be so sure? I know someone who got sponsored by a company while being in AP and travelled to USA.

AP (i.e background/security checks) is the period of time before the visa is issued, before a decision is made.  How did they travel without a visa?
