Depends on the embassy as one factor but their are many other factors. No one can predict when your's will be released. I'd have a better guess for you but I don't know your embassy because your profile is incomplete.

 

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Trust us from our experience you are in AP. Are you tracking the current update to your case on ceac.state.gov?

 

If not go to that website, enter either your DS-160 or your case number with the selection "immigrant", what are your results?

Then it is in final stages.   Every consulate is different as to how fast they complete the paperwork

Everyone gets AP.  AP can mean extra background checks all the way to file maintenance getting it ready to print
