Hello,
Today I had some updates on my file. While still on AP status, the Consulate reached out to me asking me to go to the Consulate tomorrow to pay some missing fees in my application that I had actually paid. After some back and forth showing them proof of payment, they told me that I should hear soon from Loomis to go pick up my passport. How soon? They couldn't tell... They also updated my "last update" date on the website to June 17 (today).
So, I would say that, confirming some of your hopes and cases, the lack of appointments due to the technical issue is letting the officers catch up with the long outstanding applications.
While I still don't know when I will receive my passport (5 weeks today without it), it definitely gives me more hope to think that once the technical issue is solved, I should expect my passport back. Maybe too much of an assumption, but at least I know that my file is moving and no longer getting dust in the officer's drawer.
Good luck to all!
