Thanks very much for sharing. So, I assume after AP was cleared, it took your case around another year to have the medicals and police cert redone, send along with passport, get it stamped, and returned, etc. Correct? It is encouraging to hear that the AP took around 1 year. Been 10 months for me.

Hi @MonB. You mentioned 2 years wait time, and here you mentioned 1 full year. Can you please let us know if it was 1 or 2 years under administrative processing? From the interview time to receiving communication that AP was completed?
-
Thank you for writing about this. Although my case is not Family Based (Employment Based), I hope that administrative processing will take around the same for us. I am entering the 10th month of wait in AP, after interview. BTW, not asking for myself, but I don't think you can have it handled by the embassy in Ottawa, can you? Montreal Consulate is the only center handling Immigrant Visas, right? Anyhow, congrats, and all the best!

WTH! 4 years in AP??? Sorry, I am still in AP for 9 months, so have no input to help you...

So, on Friday Aug 15, I checked my status and it showed "At NVC" (after showing "refused") for the past 7 months, being in AP. I got excited and thought something is moving in my AP process. But 2 hours later, checked again, and it showed "refused" again. Nothing changed. It must have been a system glitch. Sharing this here for people who may face the same thing. Don't get excited!

Thank you for your response! Good luck!

Congrats! Can you please share a bit more? - What visa category were you in? - why do you think you were put in AP? Country of birth? the type of work you do? - how long did the AP process take for you? Thank you!

Nice!!! Congrats! Do you mind sharing a bit more about your timeline? You said 4 years, but how much of that was AP? From interview (being put in AP) to email requesting your passports?

I haven't lost hope yet, but looks like it will take a long time. I am also in a field listed in TAL and born in Iran. Been in AP since Jan 2025. I am preparing to wait for another year at least ...

Sorry to hear this. Although I have not seen such a case before, I have seen many odd scenarios here in this forum. So, I am not surprised. It's a very inconsistence practice there. I suggest you keep bugging them and pointing out that it was them who told you it was over. Ask them to check with the Visa Officer...

Oh wow! Congratulations for finally getting over the finish line...

Hi, sorry, I am not answering your question, but have a question for you. Where you put in AP? If yes, how long after you submitted DS-5535 did you receive your request for passport (i.e., how long did the AP take)?

Hi, can you please share more? What category? Were you put in AP? Do you know why you were put in AP? How long after the interview did you status change to Issued? Thanks!
