My mother's brother is our petitioner for family immigration who is a US citizen. We interviewed at the Islamabad embassy in December of 2018. A week after the interview, they send an email asking me to fill DS 5535 for myself. They only asked me to fill up the form although I have been in USA for a while now. Now I am already in US since 2015 on F-1 visa. I graduated last month and now going to be working here in USA on OPT card.
There has been a few updates on our case since interview but nothing substantial. Our medical has expired last month too. I have following questions:

1. Does asking senator to check on our case will help increasing the speed?  No.
2. Now since I am not in college anymore and will be starting working, will i not be considered a dependent child and removed from getting visa through my mom's case? Should I enroll in Masters to get into school again? Would you be doing that just to get a visa?  F-1 is a nonimmigrant visa.
3. Should I ask embassy if my parents visa is approved they should send their passports back while I am undergoing Administrative processing? The consulate will let them know what to do.
4. Anyone who interviewed in Dec in Islamabad got their visa recently? Any advice?

Thanks for all your help in advance.

case stayed on administrative processing for 9 months after first interview and then received email by Islamabad consulate to  submit second medical, we seen the case updated two times in a two week period after submitting second medical and when it updated third time the status on visa tracking website showing "visa issued " instead of administrative processing.

What time of the day does the visa generally change to issued? I am also asking this question from others who have received their visas? Is it early morning or in the late hours?

For everyone waiting in AP for more than 6 months due to the ds5535, you should file a writ of mandamus. I suggest saving all your responses to inquires from embassy and your emails to the senator/congressman to make your case strong.
