Notes:
My Case:- Applying for a B1/B2 renewal for the Second time , and my Wife and Son for the First Time. Previously Held Two 10 years Visa, My Family and Myself was eligible for DropBox, so submitted the passports in June 2023, recd passports through courier and there was a slip to attend interview in person, Attended the interview in the month of August 2023 with my Family and the VO handed a 221(g) white slip and also gave me back my passports and put my application on AP. Did not Recive any correspondence from the consulate till February 2024, so i wrote an email and they send me a DS-5535 to be filled and submit by email. I did what was told and sent an email after six months inquiring about my status, and the same reply that you are under AP. Kept sending reminders every 6 months finally recd and email on 11th August 2025 to submit all my passports. CEAC Statu Changed from Refused To (AP), My question is if they have already taken 2 years for AP why is my status still showing AP?

January 24: went for my L1b Visa interview. Travel to US is planned in July 15, 2025 (mentioned in my I-129s). VO gave White Slip (with a note to come back within 90 days of planned travel to USA) and returned passport. Anybody else know about this restriction? I previously thought you can apply for Visa for travel in next 6 months.

Notes:
I was interviewed at the Dubai Consulate for a B1/B2 visa. My visa was approved, and the embassy kept my passport for stamping. However, after two months, my passport was returned along with a 221g yellow slip. It has now been one year, and I am still waiting for a decision.
