Form DS-5535 'SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS FOR VISA APPLICANTS'

[joanamber 16]

Hi! My husband was asked to submit the form DS-5535 after four months of being on AP. Does it take more than 60 days for it to have an update or does it take more than that? Is it a bad sign? Please share your inputs.

You filed here in USEManila? Did you get your visa already? Please update. Thank you.

After the DS-5355 is submitted, expect a few months to process it.

I had H1b visa interview on June 22nd 2017 after the interview VO gave me 221g and on next day they send me DS 5535. I completed it and since than my case is under administrative processing. Anyone recieve visa recently after recieving DS 5535??

How long did it take for your AP to clear?

I wish they would at least give us an estimated time to process this form...... 

This puts so much stress on all of our lives not knowing what or when it will happen.

It's been 5 months since interview..medical is expiring soon.. 

Reached out to my senator to send an inquiry. 

I am gonna have to go to pakistan..because we haven't seen each other in over a year. It's so difficult for me to go because of my work demands 

Please make dua for me. I am doing the same for all of us.

Have you inquired at all? Have you or your petitioner asked your local representative or state senator to send in an inquiry on your behalf? There isn't much that can be done but it's a good idea to keep your or your petitioner's local reps and senator in the loop about what's going on. Also if the date isn't updated doesn't necessarily means they are not working on it. Some don't get updated and once reached a certain time, they reach out to you to update medical and other documents..usually means that they are ready to issue the visa. Don't stress too much about it but make sure that you continue to inquire about your case every month or every 60 days

You have every right to inquire, that's the one thing you can do even if the reply is to wait. I also urge you to reach out to your reps and so they know that extreme vetting policies is making your life difficult.  pray that you hear back soon.
