she was in AP for a few weeks. the interview was in Jan and they asked for this years tax return (IRS was not accepting tax returns then so I don't know why they asked for it) and they emailed the additional information questionnaire a few hours after the interview. If I remember correctly the case was updated 5 or 6 times and it went into issued. (updates even happened during the weekend). it was mentioned on ceac website that she will get it 2 days after it is approved and she got it on the 2nd day (contacted by the courier). Even after picking it up the status is still issued.

what I understand from my friends here who have been applicants and petitioners, the more red flags there are in the DS5535 or the questionnaire the longer AP takes; any attorney can tell you about common red flags. Also under the current administration, sadly, fiances and parents AP is taking long.

They just said that my request has been acknowledged and they will return the passport and the courier service will let me know when to pick it up.
