AP: Contacting the embassy regularly????

I agree that it's likely they leave the last two weeks "open" to accommodate last-minute interviews for those who find out/submit docs very late.

Gabam, I don't think irritating consular officials will lead them to deny your visa! They will follow the normal process for approval or denial based purely on your eligibility for a visa.

reasons for delays can be even trivial, such as: they want you to be on hold as many people make an entry to the state at the time...

You have a raised a very interesting point here. Could it be really a reason for the delay in AP?

To be honest, I doubt this. Your visa is valid for 6 months, they have no way of knowing when in that 6 months you will enter, or where. I would also think that the number of DV applicants under AP is such a small percentage of total arrivals in the US that it's unlikely to make any appreciable difference.

Edit: to prove this last point, see http://www.tinet.ita.doc.gov/view/m-2012-I-001/documents/top_ports.xls ... Just in the top ports of entry, there were almost 30 million non-resident arrivals last year....and this excludes returning residents...

gabam, this point is actually a feedback from a successful applicant, it was reported some years ago here on this forum. Moreover, the CO lady explained all this at the time to him (or her), basically it was a decision from a higher level...if so, CO must always militantly apply the policies...
So, once you have the visa you can also ask for an explanation, meanwhile I am sure you will be OK
 
i just had a chat and they said its under the processing.
ur mailing them every week or how it is ?
