I agree with you becasue we all are from same consualte and it will help us for time frame determination. It looks like most of the female are going throug under AP for 3-6 months amd males for 6-12 months.

Hey Everyone

Hope all is with with you guys..

Have any of you people on AP called DOS or the embassy to find out what the status is of your case?

We called twice and they said we are on name check....

Take care all of you....

It is hard to get somebody on a phone over there. I try almost every night before I go to sleep, and my wife is in Pakistan tries all day and you just hear the recording. I have emailed them and they have reply me that our case in under "screening" which I think thier interanl term for name checking. Now, they are not even replying on emails.

All we can do just pray with the belief that patience bears the good fruit.

do u call the embassy or DOS?

embassy usually replies in a few days-its no use calling because they dont tell anything..

DOS is the best place to call...

No, I didnt called DOS. I even dont know that you can call somewhere except the embassy. Would you please give me the information about DOS as their PH# or email. I will appreciate your help.

Thnaks,

Ali

It's been so long since I called, so I do not remember the prompts - but once you get a human,, you will need the name, case #, birthdate in order to get the status. Do not expect too much more than "Pending" or "Complete" - if you ever get a "Complete" do yourself a favor and call back in a few minutes to see if you get the same answer.... that one burned me once!

The consulate doesnt tell us anything except the famous line "Our Administrative Work isnt complete yet" however when the wife called DOS a few times sometimes they say AP sometimes Security Clearance. The very last time the lady said "Your case is under normal security checks, the initial review has not shown anything negative" however I dont think this means much except for the fact that atleast were not under any kind of weird investigation........well atleast not yet who knows go figure! This AP bussiness is really frustrating though im not sure how everyone else is doing but this thing is really getting to our nerves....the wait is terrible! Anyway goodluck to everyone on their AP or AR. I hope we start seeing approvals soon!

I didn't know females were also going through long AP's. From the timelines I've read, it wasn't very consistent. Good luck to everyone.
