Hi, I need advice. a little background, I had my K1 visa interview at 24/September/2019, and I received 221g after 10 days along with my passport and was told I was in AP. Fast forward, I have been in AP for over 8 months and I contacted the embassy and my fiance (usc) also contacted her governor. Then the embassy told me that my AP has completed and I should send them a new medical report. After which I got it and send it to them. After 4 days they called me and asked me I should send them my passport photo (they can't issue us visa on my passport as it not recognized by US thus they don't really need the passport) and new criminal record in the country I'm residing. And they told me that I should send it to the urgently. Next day they called me and asked me when I'm planning to travel and that I should book the ticket first and send it to them then they will issue my visa. Then after 10 days I sent them a ticket to US (28/sept flight) then I was expecting them to give me an update regarding when I will receive my Visa but all of a sudden they sent me an email which says that my AP has not really finished and that I should fill DS-5535 before they can finalize my case which came as a shock and my CEA which was refused during AP and then changed to application received during their contact became refused again today after I sent them the DS-5535 and they told me that I should wait from them. Has anyone experienced this before, I really don't know why they changed all of a sudden.

Some countries are more stringent on their requirements. I have read that Somalia is one of those countries. Unfortunately, they have what you want so it is your duty to provide the documents requested. AP can last for hours, weeks, months and sometimes into a year. Yours is overly difficult but you have no other options. Keep providing what they want and I am sure you will have your visa.  I wish you the best.

Thank you, it's just nerve racking when they told me I should book a ticket as soon as possible and then when I sent them all of a sudden they are saying that my AP is ongoing and I should provide DS-5535
