Hey, i wanted to check if you had any update on your parents' case?
We are in a similar situation in terms of AP. My inlaws applied for their B1/B2 renewal in 2021 and had their interview in Islamabad in July 2022. While my FIL who is over 65, got his approved and visa stamped for 5 years, my MIL's is still in AP. They requested aditional information via email and we did not know about it until 3 months after the interview to which we promptly replied. We got an e-mail to submit the passport as processing was complete in Decemver 2022. Ever since then, they have held on to the passport and the status keeps showing AP. They requested additional information on ever visiting Bangladesh or if my MIL had any other nationality other than Pakistan's but that's about it. I am not sure why they are holding on to a passport for a mere visa stamping if it is fo that.
I am trying to see if anyone had a similar issue? I usually think if they if they ask for the passport to be submitted, it is a good news.
Also if there are any other ways to get this expedited? I know with AP it is a black hole but not sure if this is a passport being held issue or an AP issue :S .
