To quote from the well published DV instruction information, which you surely are aware of:
"If you are selected, in order to receive a Diversity Visa to immigrate to the United States, you still must meet all eligibility requirements under U.S. law. These requirements may significantly increase the level of scrutiny required and time necessary for processing for visa applications of natives of some countries listed in this notice, including, but not limited to, countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism."
Very best of luck, you still have more than sufficient time to complete the process.

Do you think there is some magic number of updates that an AP case has to have to be approved? Let's say he answers 27. How many more updates does he need to be approved?

I know you are frustrated. I get that - really - I and others spend a lot of our own time trying to reduce that frustration - and we already have our Green Cards. So - I am am not trying to say I am "allmighty" - I'm just trying to get you to understand the point.
My point is, you are fixating on the updates, and by your questioning you will create or perpetuate a myth that the number of updates is somehow indicative of progress. It isn't. It is a waste of your time and energy even thinking about the updates - as I have said before, you should consider them meaningless.

Actually it's not necessarily. People are on AP for different reasons. One person might only "need" one or two updates before they are cleared while another might need 10. Very few people actually know why they are on AP unless it's the easy/obvious AP of a missing document.
I also wonder if the cases don't get updated every time someone contacts them (i.e. they are adding the latest email to the file), in which case the updates become even more meaningless.

thank you!
Hi Guys,
last week I received a call from the Consulate that they are finished with AP and I was instructed to submit our passports for visa issuance. I was really happy and sent the passports immediately. The Consulate received passports last Friday. Since then, there is a status update every day on CEAC but still no ISSUED message. The last update was today Feb 3. The only difference is that instead of all family members showing AP, now only the principal shows AP and the rest of family members Ready. I really do not understand why it still takes several days to issue the visas after they told me the AP is cleared. So I keep stressing out here.....
