Unfortunately I don't have much advice to give as I'm also hoping to apply for AP as well. I'm almost wondering what's the right time to apply for AP. Could you have done it earlier? Or did you have to wait for the i-601a waiver to get approved before you applied for AP?

Do you have an attorney that is filing these forms for you? I'm assuming they can tell you what questions to expect. My attorney has told me that they will help me through the process and they have been very helpful in answering my questions.

I could have, and should have, applied earlier. But my lawyer had given me inaccurate information as to when things happen, like for example, after my 601A he was sitting waiting on doing my ds-260 saying that it take up to a year for NVC to let us do that. Luckily through info here and other forum I figured out that was wrong and filed it.
It has been a matter of misinformation and confusion and processing times in the US embassy abroad. There is no visibility to that as there is for USCIS and NVC processing times. That is why I couldn't really time the AP to work with me.
I filed the AP myself as most people do, as it is not a long form. And because my process is employment based, I HAVE to use the companies lawyers with really dont have experience with 601A and have given me the wrong info. I have consulted lawyers outside too but the most accurate info I have gotten here and on facebooks groups.
I think your attorney sounds like a good one.
