My honest opinion is no but best of luck to you. It took the embassy 3 days to approve our 221g docs. Then 2 days for them to ask for the passport. Then it took a few days to go to non immigrant and t

Golden rule of visas: never put money down or make firm plans until the visa is in hand.

All of your experiences are really worrisome to all of us. Why are they taking so long for AP ? Do you think contacting congressman would help expedite or atleast know the reason for AP ?

I think primarily it is because Government Shutdown, since after visa interview file goes for background check and Government Shutdown has finished on 25-01-2019. So I feel I should wait untill this week before taking anyfurther action.

The shutdown did not impact consular services at any embassy or consulate in any way known. Only employees there would really know for sure, but they had their own fund to pull from for that time period (had that run out, well...that would be different).

There is no way to expedite AP.

One can contact the embassy or a congressperson to inquire their case status. Usually they will just give a generic response that it is going through mandatory AP before they can make a decision. But it will not hurt to ask.

Even if one were to know the precise reason for AP, would it change anything? If they aren't waiting on documents from you, there's nothing else you can do about the process.

Visa processing is paid by the due each of pays each step of the way. Sort of self funding. Once those funds are used up then yes they could be impacted by a GS.

Don’t worry!!

 

if they approve on the spot it takes less than 10 days to get visa, if 221g for document missing then may be 3 weeks..

 

but it if they ask for more evidence on proof of relationship, it can take 60 days.. so best is don’t give them chance for any doubts.

 

good luck!!
