It happens often....more so in some countries...Where was your interview?

Everyone goes through AP. Some last 2-3 days, 2-3 weeks, 2-3 months... and for some unfortunate people it lasts a year or more.

 

It's just part of the process. Having them say you're approved is a good sign though for sure to hopefully your AP is one of the shorter ones.

08/15/2014 : Met Online

06/30/2016 : I-129F Packet Sent

11/08/2016 : Interview - APPROVED!

11/23/2016 : POE - Dallas, Texas

From sending of I-129F petiton to POE - 146 days.

 

02/03/2017 - Married 

02/24/2017 - AOS packet sent

06/01/2017 - EAD/AP Combo Card Received in mail

12/06/2017 - I-485 Approved

12/14/2017 - Green Card Received in mail - No Interview

Hi,

 

My husband is in a similar situation. He had his interview at the US Embassy in Nicosia, Cyprus on Tuesday. He knew his blood-work results weren't gonna be ready- the doctor called the Embassy, and they said to come for the interview anyway and bring the blood-work results when they are complete. So, he went for his interview and was told he passed and everything was set. He just needs to bring the blood-work, along with his original birth certificate (which he misplaced in the pile of paperwork I gave him!), and his passport to drop off at the embassy gate- and that it would be done and returned to him by next week. He dropped everything off this morning, so I expect his status to be updated tomorrow. If I check CEAC, his status right now is 'AP'. The doctor gave him a copy of the results and everything was negative, so I'm sure everything will be fine.

Was notified yesterday that his visa was issued! So, just a few days of AP because of the missing items. He'll be picking up his passport next week. Nearly a two year process done!

Hi, I was on O1 visa extension interview in Shanghai,  China on 03/07 (8 days ago) everything went well and I have recieved a slip which said congratulations ! You got approved, they told me I should expect to get thr passport back within a week.

My passport is on administrative processing mode and it's been over a week.

How can I know if its s technical delay or delay due to 221g issuance?

Thanks

Lauren
