I'm trying to get an estimate of AP/AR.

Cassandra, basically it takes about 6-12 months.

The this is you should not worry though, because many get out before 3-4 months and an "average" is really not a good estimate because every case is unique. Hearing 6-12 months makes people feel bad, I know I felt terrible but now still going on nearly 10 months without visa, I understand that it can take that long. Again, do not let this discourage you, becase your time may be significantly shorter. Write to your congressman/senator and ask DOS for an inquiry if it passes 4-5 months. Pray to God to help you on your hardest moments and GOD will always bring a smile to your face.

I know how frustrating AP is because there seem to be no rhyme nor reason, but in this case, I am not sure how helpful the poll is going to be. AP averages vary greatly from one consulate to another even with in MENA. Even the average of one consulate cvaries over time depending on work load.

What might be the most helpful is to use the timeline search features and narrow the search for the consulate you are going through.

Good luck and keep in mind, that no matter how impossible this process is, there will be some resolution.
