Were you given other instructions? Was DS5535 form ever mentioned? Many of us had our visa "refused" as we await for administrative Processing to be cleared. Unfortunately it has taken some of us 1.5 years (me 8 months in counting) to have it cleared. Check out this group:

Going though AOS through H1B would make sense given the dual intent nature. I am in the states as a visitor (B1), which is why my lawyer would advise against it.

For various reasons, main one being the fear of my application for AOS to be deemed as fraud. After being placed on AP, I got pulled into secondary once at the airport trying to re-enter the states. I was specifically asked if I have the intension for AOS, which is really not my intension at the time given that I’m at the last stage of my IR1 application (thinking that AP will be cleared in 6 months max). After waiting for three months and with no movement with AP, I then seek legal counsel to explore I-485. I was strongly advised against it given that I had previously stated my intension to visit as strictly recreational. Bottom line, I don’t want to rock the boat as the worse case scenario is being denied for entry FOREVER.

I can empathize with you guys too. Hang in there everyone!! Hopefully things will change up a bit in the new year!

Sucks that you are stuck in this situation. Sorry I don’t have an answer for your question, but I do have a few questions for you. Were you flagged for DS5535 /AP for BOTH L1 and EB2 visa? If yes, how long did it take your L1 AP to clear?

So you plan to mail in your Canadian passport once you are back in US? How does that work? I thought you need your passport in hand while inside US as Canadian? I’m curious to know as I might be in same situation where I can’t afford to wait in Canada for long period of time just for them to return my passport (once my whole AP is cleared).

Sorry just saw others posting the same question! this is strange because you would think that the NVC would have ensure all documents are good and wouldn’t need any further documents post interview. Like my police check or your proof of domicile. I’d always ponder if my improper police certificate had placed me on AP…

Did u receive request to submit documents in December? My interview was in April. I had to submit ds5535 and the proper police certificate. I was also told to hold off on sending my police certificate (and passport) until the consulate reaches out, which is when all my APs checks are completed. If they request for your passport then the wait shouldn’t be that much longer?
