Hello! My husband had his interview on August 18th, 2021. As of right now, it’s going on 4 months since he’s been placed on AP. At first, the embassy was responding to us and our inquiries but unfortunately, they haven’t responded to our most recent emails. I was just curious to see how long this process has been taking everyone. There hasn’t been any status change since August 25th,2021 (when he was played on AP) and the embassy still has his passport. We are just lost on what to do moving forward. 

Hi! I am in the same boat.

Hi everyone! I would like to ask about my case if you have any idea? 
📍November 21, 2021 - I was interviewed here in US embassy Abu Dhabi, UAE for immigrant visa. After the interview, the consul handed over a blue paper (221g) and put a mark on admistrative processing and gave back my passport. I checked my CEAC status on that day and it said “Refused”. 
📍November 22, 2021 - I received an email from Abu Dhabi US Embassy stating to fill out the form DS5355. CEAC status still “Refused”.
📍November 23, 2021 - Sent back the filled out DS 5355
📍November 24, 2021 - CEAC status still “Refused”

 

From then on I kept on checking my status but the Last Date Updated still November 24, 2021 and same status.


I checked it again and the same status but the last date updated became November 29, 2021.

I would like to know if this is a good sign? How long will it take for the process?

 

I followed up my case last December 7, 2021 if they received the form. They replied back on December 8, 2021 and said that it is under administrative processing.

 

CEAC STATUS UPDATE is remained on DECEMBER 8, 2021

 

I believe I was given the DS5355 because in my DS260 I never mentioned (which was really my mistake) my travels in Europe, UK, HK and Singapore but visas, exit and entry had been seen in my passport.


*Now I am trying my best to calm down and be patient to wait but sometimes or most of the time I think about it and worry a lot.

 

How long would it take? 🥺

Administrative processing is normal.  Extended administrative processing is common for your region of the world.  It could take a few weeks or many months. The only thing you can do is to wait patiently.  Checking daily and emailing them frequently really won't speed up the process since administrative processing cannot be expedited.  Good luck on the rest of your journey.  Hopefully, they will issue your visa soon.

This certainly sounds like a good sign. I’ve seen in research that updating it means they’re progressively working on it. Especially since they were silent for a long period of time. Hopefully by the next 2 weeks, you’ll be clear!
