Well how long have you been in AP for po? Usually AP can go on for a few days to a couple months at USEM depending on what the issue is. How was your interview at the embassy?

I had my interview last year Dec 15,2017..They dont asked for any additional documents but they keep my passport, then they said my visa has to go under administrative processing..

And ive waited for 60 days bfore i send them email to check the status of my visa.. and they only tell me that its still undergoing with administrative processing.. its kinda depressing coz theyre not giving any assurance if after a long wait will it be approve or denied?

All cases go through some form of AP.  Unfortunately, AP can be for weeks or months........If they still have your passport, all is well......Good luck!!

During my interview, the consular asked me if i have a police clearance from Syria coz i work there.. I answered them in a very respecful way.. i told them that i tried to get a police clearance many times but theyre not going to release any police clearance to any foreign national. Its only available for syrian who lives in syria... 

then after hearing my answered he checked it on his computer... and asked me are u sure??? I said yes sir ... it took like 10 mins checking something on his computer and he called one of the people inside the room and asked..is syrian government not issuing police clearance...i was really shocked that they dont aware of that... 

Im sure thats the reason why they put my application under administrative processing..

I think you are correct.  That would explain the extended processing...like I said, if they still have your passport, all is well.

Nah, but i tried it through the link of Reciprocity..and its showing there at the front of syrian govt website that the police clearance is only available for syrian citizen that living inside syria... 

---------------------------------------------------

Its really depressing .. that despites of knowing what is happening to syria now and it shows on their websites thats they wont release any clearance to foreign national..they still put my papers under administrative processing.. i just hope that they should be reasonably of making a decision bfore putting any application on administrative processing.. coz waiting without assurance is really depressing.. My son is turning to 4 yrs old now and he needs his father to be around him..

(Sorry for the emote)

Just want to share how we feel about it..
