Hello, we are still in AP as well. My fiance had her interview March 26th and her case went in AP March 27th I am assuming because it hasnt been updated since. From what I am hearing it takes a long time for some people depending on the case. Now it has been 49 buisness days since the case was updated last. I wish I knew more to help you but I'm in the same situation myself and just waiting it out.

Hi guys! We were approved 5/23 and now the status is administrative processing. 😔

As long as the embassy doesn't need more information from you, unfortunately all you can do is wait. Welcome to the black hole that is AP😔. The only good news I've been reading about AP is they usually resolve your case and issue your Visa within 60 days. It says 60 days from the interview date but I am assuming buisness days since the Embassy is closed weekends and holidays. 

We were never told to submit a 221g. I emailed the embassy asking if they needed anymore information from us and I got an automated response apologizing for the inconvenience and then they told us exactly what the CEAC link says.

I am confused because i theres 2 case status appear in CEAC with my the same case number the one is under AP updated April 15 and the other one is “Ready” for interview updated April 22? Its 1 and half month now  waiting for new update.

You can always call/email of course, not sure how much that'll do for you though. 

Yes I may do that thanks. I've read others that have done the same and their status has changed the next day ( could be coincidence ) but worth the try. Thanks again for the info.

Ha!  I was the same way.  I didn’t want to tick them off and then have them “accidentally” throw out my file, but that’s where the polite and brief email helps.  Don’t come in hot and rant for 6 paragraphs   

Hi, me and my fiance are in a similar situation. Her case has been in AP almost 60 days since her interview.  Is it possible I the petitioner can send an email or does my fiance have to be the one to send an email asking if anything else is required of her?

Yeah, so no need to wait for the passport to show up as the case hasn't even been approved yet. You want the status to change to "issued" first.

 

There's nothing anybody can do for you here on VJ, it's all in the hands of the embassy.

Thanks so much for the info. Should we still call if it's been past 60 days from her interview or is that still normal for other people's situations too?

@Scandi, I checked under both, non immigrant shows No Status and when I try checking for immigrant it says not valid. 

@Jorgedig, I check the status of her case everyday through CEAC. It has been 38 buisness days from the date of her interview and I was wondering if what you say is true and it went to AP stage, is it normal for the status to show No Status still? I figured after so many days the status would at least change but this is all new to me.

Update @Scandi, I was entering the wrong case number for the CEAC link. I checked the immigrant section using the correct case number and it says Administrative Processing. Today is day 55 from the interview date.

I read that it takes 60 days or less once your case goes to AP. My fiance status has shown "No Status" for 53 days (38 buisness days). It hasn't updated since she had her interview in March 26, 2019. Any advice?

@Jorgedig, yes she has tried calling the embassy in Madrid and it takes her through all the options but when she chooses an option it just rings and no one answers. I'm not sure why it is taking this long because they told her at her interview back in March 26 that she was approved and will recieve her passport etc... within 10 buisness days.

My fiance interviewed at the US embassy in Madrid and they told her she was approved and will recieve her passport and Visa packet via courier or local mail in 10 buisness days or less and it has already been 38 buisness days past her interview date. She still has not received anything in the mail and the status on the ceac link shows (No Status). What should we do?
