I'm a student from South Korea and I initially got my visa interview waived and submitted my student visa renewal application on June 28th via dropbox. (I have been studying outside of my home country since 2001. Received all my education in the U.S. and Canada). My case was created on June 29th and was asked to fill out DS 5535 via email on July 3rd. I filled out the form and sent it back immediately and it's been undergoing AP since then. I have submitted all of valid documents including official transcript (GPA a little below 4.0), valid I-20 (through 2022) and DS 160. I'm currently on full scholarship pursuing my doctoral degree. I don't see any date updated on CEAC, but the emails I've been receiving from them says "your case has been updated, please log back into your account to view the details.", but still in AP and the date indicates the same, July 3rd. Does this still mean that it's somewhat being processed?? I hope so...? I have my apartment, my car, my jobs, literally all of my belongings in Houston. Also, it irritates me how every person I speak to provides me with false information. For instance, a lady that has been responding to my emails decided to give me a call and she said she's not supposed to call the applicants but she was calling because I seemed so desperate in my emails and wanted to let me know that my case was sent directly to the U.S. for approval and that they're actually waiting for a response from them. I waited for 2 weeks and then called the embassy again, someone else picked up the phone, informed me that my case was NEVER updated since July 3rd and that it's nonsense that my case was sent to the U.S.......hmm....first of all, I've been in contact with her since July 3rd and someone else from the visa department says that they don't see any email threads or updates for my case since July 3rd...Was she lying to me...?? I'm so confused why she did that to me.

 

Anyways, my school begins on August 21st..I'm already late unless some miracle happens and I hear back from them tomorrow for my passport's resubmission. It's not like I applied for visa renewal last minute. I have been waiting for almost 2 months now. If I'm unable to make it back in time, school will withdraw my SEVIS record...then what is the point of waiting for this visa...? Any continuing students experiencing this? Lastly, we're all aware of what this DS 5535 is all about...This is such a torture waiting for this without a specific timeframe. I know it says some cases take longer than 60 days, but this better resolve within 60 days...Please feel free to share your thoughts on this. Thank you for taking your time to read in advance!

Yeah pretty much all of us are in the same shoe. I have been waiting since June 22nd no case update since. Every time I ask consulate for an update they just replied that my case is undergoing AP which is an electronic process and they can not control it . It can take days to weeks. How many days or weeks nobody knows.

How are you all doing? I just came here to tell you all to calm down and everything will be fine soon. I had gone through this process and all I did was exercised patience. I was on AP for 9 months. I

Yeah, let's all stay positive since now we know at least one person with DS 5535 got his visa approved. I want to believe that they're working on our cases...

The case of a friend of mine, who applied for H1B visa in June and filled this form, was also updated last Monday but is still in AP. There are some good signs :) 

Hi Mimo11 did your friend got his H1B visa yet ?
