Hi MJJC,
Im sorry to hear that your stuck at AP,its really tough to keep on waiitng not knowing why it is taking so long to get issued,just like you I know how it feels,I took courage to call the Immigration Visa Unit since its almost close to two weeks since I got approved from my interview.
This is the number i called 02-301-2000 once you hear a voice prompt press the extention number 5184 OR 5185 its best to call early before 8:00 am hits like 7:58 coz thats were the line operates,or in the afternoon around 4:00 pm.
I also noticed that after I sent for a congressional inquiry,it seems it had helped move justice to my case.
Hang in there,there is a light at the end of tunnel!
My friend called also today and she was aked to call again for an update on thursday or friday.
In a few weeks you will be in the States, you will being feeling blue because you miss your family... but that too will pass. For now, go visit with family and special friends. Check CEAC once a day.
