any updates guys ? , i'm so desperate for any good news from any one 

No, my passport expiry date was 29 Dec 2017 ,and you need your passport to be valid for at least 6 months to be able to travel, so in September i sent them an email , reminding them of my passport expiry date and asking them if i can renew it now and send them the new passport, so i can avoid any travelling problems in the future , they answered saying that they will send me my passport to renew it , and i should keep it with me til they require it again 

so my passport is currently with me   

i'm the beneficiary

well , they never tell you the reasons 

at the end of march 2017 i got a call from the embassy asking for my passport , new medical and police certificate , and when i asked if our case was approved , the was yes, i submitted the required documents , but nothing happened since that time , just one last update on CEAC website when they got the documents,in that update the case became non immigrant instead of immigrant and case creation date changed and became same as case last update date 12 April 

and since that day we are stuck , inquiries , lawyers and even congressman office couldn't do any thing to help or even to give us any idea about what is going on 

for your last question , my answer is yes , there were some cases on AP forum that took more than a year and then they got approved , so Good Luck for all of us 

yes 

nothing LOL 

congratulations and good luck for you guys 

any updates guys ?

@Maf congratulations , how long did AP take  in your case ? 

i called the embassy today , and once again it was a waste of time , no one is going to tell us anything  

i called the embassy today and it was a waste of time as usual , no one is telling us anything 

no , nothing new for me , i called them today to see if i can get any new information , but it was just a waste of time 

unfortunately no , we sent an inquiry last week , and we got the same lovely Copy/Paste answer

did you send them your passport? have you tried to contact them? something doesn't make sense. did  @E.Amr  get the visa?

no , we didn't get the visa yet , and contacting the embassy seems useless 

@Super Uber Bro , i know you are so frustrated of the stupid waiting game , but what you did was risky . and may be you just gave them what they wanted, i hope i'm wrong  

Just a date update ?? 
when did you send your inquiry ?
i think they will send you the same traditional email later today , check your junk mail in case it was there 

no , nothing so far 

i tried the phone calls , but it was just like what you said , there is no way you can reach Cairo IV staff on the phone , so i sent another inquiry , and i got the same traditional answer

What we need is a number for the embassy IV unit, that's for sure.

they have a lot of numbers and that is confusing 
that one is from embassy website " Telephone: (20-2) 2797 3300 " 
and this one was included in the emails the Cairo IV unit sent me before " For Assistance, please call: +20-2-3531-1460 or 16872 (from within Egypt)." 
and those are the contact information of US embassy in cairo , that are mentioned on this website " Visa Issuance Inquiries only through 090070600 
(Call Service Center in Cairo) from 8:00 AM to 11:00 
Immigrant Visa unit : 27972301 
or from the United States:011+20+22+797+2200 1pm-3pm (Egypt time) Sunday - Thursday except the last Tuesday of every month and holidays.1 pm - 3 pm " 
 

I don't know which one we should use ?

@Super Uber , did you contact the embassy after you got the new information ?? 
and please give me the phone numbers you used to contact the NVC supervisors and tell me how did the conversation between you go ?

Thank you can i ask you sth please in 11/july my status change to application received then after 2 days go back to ap my case creat change to 11/july too but till now there's no update is that normal?

honestly I don't know 

Actually i'm in AP since December 2016, we had several updates , til end of March 2017 , when i got a call from the embassy, asking me to send them my passport , updated police and medical checks , i asked if our case was approved , and they answered yes 
i submitted everything they asked for on 11 April , then the last update happened on 12 April, our case changed from IV to NIV , and case creation date was changed to become 12 April , same as Case last update date.
usually that is supposed to be a good sign , and i should have got my visa a long time ago , but unfortunately my case is stuck there since that moment.
i tried everything , me , our lawyer , the senator office submitted many inquires , but we got the same answer every time " your case is under mandatory processing " , there are other people here who suffer the same exact situation like @Super Uber , we did everything we can , but nothing changed 

Just now, Mohd Al Said said:

Guy help please what th difference between case number and ds-160 i check the both on ceac,, on iv and niv and they both show the same status ap can anyone help me please

CASE ID is the case number you got from NVC mail NOA2 , it starts with CRO########## for Cairo embassy

DS-160 number , is a number mentioned in your DS-160 application confirmation page , you will find it under a bar-code

the IV cases uses the case ID to check on CEAC web site

the NIV cases uses the DS-160 number 

since K-1 Visa is kind of IV and NIV , you can check using both methods and you will get the same answer

i have no updates since 4 months LOL 
Stay strong
