Our AP has finished and my husband is on his way home to me!!, I am SOOOO HAPPY! AP was just about 90 days, I contacted a senator, she was great, but she got no response! So Try Another! but then I tried another senator, and I called embassy, 1 time a week or more and got no where! mostly answer machine! and I emailed a couple times a week with no response, my husband went to embassy, and was given another mini interview,with Co, which turned out great! and to be much more promising than the initial Interview, but still same answer, Wait!, but we were given hope and Compassion, and I Thank that CO for his kindness! but in the end I believe second senator helped us with our approval! not really sure though. So I encourage you all to contact Senator and see if they can help you! He sent email and got no response, but really there is nothing you can do during AP but wait! DONT WAIT TO LONG! you need to nudge them a little, but be polite always. This AP is very heart wrenching and painful, I think weed out the weak, so try stay strong and focus and talk much with your loved one, and keep in contact with embassy and your senator and let embassy know your pain, and call everyday Dept of State for USA, and ask more questions than answers they give, or ask to talk to someone else, they may be more willing to give you more than a text book answer, I found a couple really nice, helpful people that way, its hard to understand AP, but really it is Homeland Security checks, of both petitioner and beneficiary, hang in there, trust me I know it's hard, but in the end, you look back, and give much thanks! I wish you All the best in your Journey! If I can help, please ask, Im not really good with forums, :) and THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT!

AP is administrative processing

The contact info for Dept of state is on the Dept of state website located under the " contact " button they have.
