Well, don't celebrate yet but it seems a lot get contacted shortly after that happens to complete the process to obtain a visa. Keep an eye on your email

Amman embassy 13 month in AP ...

IR-1 

no they never contacted me nor they asked for the passport 

i got last updated on the 15TH  but in my ceac page they reopened my ds-260

 

 

I sent an inquiry 2 weeks ago to embassy and same inquiry to DOS and never got a response from either yet. Before I would get a very generic response saying you are under AP and it takes awhile. This is the first time no response. But there is an area that says if there are multiple status requests they will ignore or not respond to the email. Per immigration lawyers, just email every month or two to show your paper trail even if they don’t reply. And contact your senators as well.

I am Abu Dhabi embassy, K1 visa, also 13-14 months in AP. Also never contacted for passport yet but had last update August 15th.

Same embassy they didnot answer or update my last 3 emails a month apart each. I stopped sending honestly as I dont think anyone is working on my case as it never got update on its own

In Abu Dhabi you need to come to the embassy and drop your passport and other document, then after two days your visa would be ready to get.

I got an email from the embassy to re-submit my DS260 and my passport with new medical report and come to US embassy once I have the required docs then hand them the docs by hand, two days later I got my visa issued .

 

things are getting better inshallah for all of Syrians. Hang in there

I have heard you can actually send/receive your passport by courier to Abu Dhabi but if you have to go back after 6 months to repeat the medical than you might as well walk it in by yourself.

Do they keep the passport for 6 months before they return it to you!! That’s not practical and not logical !!! Why would they ask for the applicant’s passport if they intend to keep it that long !! How would applicants be able to travel in the mean time then !!!

I think you're misinterpreting what Anibunny said. After your initial application if it takes longer than six months you will need to redo the medical exam.

They let you keep passport after interview and contact you once they are ready to issue the visa. You have to complete the medical exam again if it has been over 6 months once they ask you to send your passport. Once they get your new medical exam results. They will print the visa

I was asked to send my passport to embassy in Amman and they’ve been holding it for 34 days so far with no action on it except some CEAC updates and the last one was on August 15th ! 

I wonder why they asked me to send my passport if it was going to take that long !

my DS-260 and medical exam are valid till next December .

Any thoughts on what’s going on ?

I have a question. Does the embassy request a new I-186 avvidat of support when u are done with ap and are approved for the visa?

i think they are just slow due to backlog. But i think yours is also taking longer than normal. I cant guess why bc every case is different.
