Yup, my husband. He was in extended AP for about 7 or 8 weeks, I am assuming it was for further background checks. We were not asked for additional documents or evidence. After an extra several weeks he was notified that he was approved and he received his visa. Unfortunately, they don't tell you exactly what the extra background checks are for and it's a waiting game, it could be for something as simple as a common name. It's stressful but hopefully your experience will be like ours-just a little extra waiting time. If you're in extended AP for more than a few weeks I would inquire with the liaison at your U.S senator's office. They cannot get you out of AP or extended background checks or speed it up, those are done when they're done. The liaison explained to me that by reaching out to the consulate on our behalf, it merely let them know to be aware that our case was being followed by them. He continued to inquire every two weeks until hubby's AP was done. Good luck.
