We're london. We did a congressman enquiry and got the same copy and paste answer or it's being processed we'll be told when it's done.

Our next plan was to call the congressman.

Our case is at Ankara, Turkey becaus of not having an embassy in Iran. 168 days after the interview we received the AP completed email asking us to submit the passport and renewing medical exam. Cost my 78 years father to travel to ankar again to renew his medical and now another pause. Embassy shouldn't hold on people passport because someone may need it for travel. His clearance will expires in 2 month so gusse what then they probably milk it for another six months and then they need new medical again. It is absurd.

That's ridiculous. I'm sorry you and your father have to go through that. The congressman experience I had was quite pleasant. They may be able to help with you guys! Fingers crossed he gets it soon!

A quick update. I've been told I'm in administrative processing now but never got a 221g and my ceac still just shows as ready. They seem to check it once a week.

 My dad recived his passport and the visa inside. The embassy never updated the website until the next day after reciving the passport! Hopefully you hear back from the embassy as well.
