    Have any of you here had a Name Change, and did your Consulate Officer ask you about how/why you changed your name? Thinking back, I realized that the officer briefly asked about my name change, and now I'm wondering if my name was somehow flagged in CLASS and therefore my case is undergoing SAO for Visa Donkey.

    Were you able to apply for a TN visa while your case is undergoing AP?

    Can you share your timeline including when you filed WOM? Thanks!

    We got almost daily updates in the first two weeks after AP, then its radio silence until we contacted our Congressman. The case was updated after Congressman contacted NVC (received a generic response). It's been 45 days since our last update.

    Congrats! And thank you for posting your timeline. It will be very helpful for the rest of us behind you. Do you think WoM was what pushed your case forward, or it was already bound to happen regardless? Seems like right around the 96 day mark things started to happen. More updates is always better than none.

    Idk if anyone is interested, but I learnt a bit of information from this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Advisory_Opinion

    I share your pain. My spouse and I are in our late 20s and early 30s, highly educated, pay taxes in the highest bracket in the US, had our work featured on news outlets like CNBC and NYTimes, and still treated like ####### by the US immigration system. Some days we wonder if we are better off just abandoning this whole immigration process and moving to a different country instead.

    I have a similar timeline. I was interviewed on May 10th and placed into AP then.

    I'm trying to figure out what caused us to go into AP. Is it the Military service and answering Yes to "Do you have any specialized skills or training, including firearms, explosives, nuclear, biological, or chemical experience?" From what I have heard, most AP clear in 3 months so I am staying hopeful. Wow, I am so sorry to hear that. This is so frustrating.

    Thanks very much. So folks are checking just to see if there are any updates in the date of last update? Any idea why some folks are stuck in AP for so long (>3 months)? Just comparing it to the DV applicants who are in AP, average case wait time appears be to 70+ days.

    When your husband got an email from DOS asking for his passport, did his online CEAC status change from "Refused" to another status?

    I had my interview at the Singapore Consulate, but yes they requested for the original.
  13. AP_since_May2023
    You need your original degrees. Photocopy is not enough. My degree was bulky too but made it work with a larger envelope.
  14. AP_since_May2023
    For those who got out of AP black hole, the CEAC status doesn’t actually change until passport is resubmitted to the Consulate right? So no point in checking daily?

    Which parties are named in the WOM?
  16. AP_since_May2023
    Please keep us posted. I wasn't very successful going through Congress representative. They updated my case, and that's it.
  17. AP_since_May2023
    Any updates on your end? Seems like Farzady and JustAnAmericanGirl both got their cases around 90 days.
  18. AP_since_May2023
    Sounds like you're close to the end!
  19. AP_since_May2023
    Was your email solicited or unsolicited? I.e. did you email them a few weeks prior or did they just email you out of the blue? Thanks.
  20. AP_since_May2023
    I don't see any harm in bringing it up. Worst thing they can do to you is literally say to you: "Your case is still under administrative processing". How long have you been in AP?
  21. AP_since_May2023
    I believe we all share the same experience. We had thought that the interview was going to be the final step, only to be slapped in the face by AP...
  22. AP_since_May2023
    Congrats!! Did you manage to obtain another police check before the visa was issued, since your previous one expired?
  23. AP_since_May2023
    They actually send you the DS-5535 form to complete? I had a similar situation as yours. Passport collected at Embassy, but received an email a few hours later to come collect my passport.
  24. AP_since_May2023
    I seem to have a different understanding based on what the consulate officer told me. He said that all APs of the same category go to the same place, regardless of Embassy location. There are of course multiple different reasons for AP, including as simple as a missing document or as serious as background check due to national security risk. If it is the latter, then all of those go through the same lineup.

    Both Farzady and justanamericangrl received their response in <4 months but I guess this is because of their WoM
