Is there any affect of Case Updates without any inquiry?

[UltraHD 24]

What are the effects if one's case is in Administrative Processing and the dates change without sending any inquiries/emails?

 

Does case update give any signs of a decision?

 

When does often case date change, after how much time?

 

After how many changes Embassy/consulate ask for additional documents?

 

Kindly share your practical experience and understanding of case updating.

 

Thanks

It's differs case to case.   Some get no updates and then one day a few updates then a visa.  Some get many updates but no visa.  Many will say 3 updates consecutive means a visa but we had that happen twice and we are still in AP.

We are a IR1, first interview was 12/13/17 second interview was 10/23/18,  no objections at second interview but given ds5535, first update...before interview then continually for the first few month, then in slowed down then stopped.  Now it only updates when the congressman or senator inquire.

It is for security background check.

No-one knows....I honestly don't believe long AP is due to security checks for Pakistan.  Document verification maybe but in our case they gave all documents back.  You can't verify the documents if you don't keep them.

I am on the same page except I was given a 221g form with only first option checked off and one additional document needed which I uploaded on CEAC. I had my interview in October, I’ve sent 3-4 inquiries since then and have not heard back from them and received only one update in November.

I had a second interview with my wife last week and they gave us a white paper to request some pictures. They send us an email saying they are reviewing the case and they will complete asap. We were in Ap for 15 months. We sent all the requirements to their e-mail. Should we also bring the pictures they asked for  to the embassy. Any advice
