Nobody knows exactly what triggers a DS-5535 to be requested. There are certainly a lot of common factors in many cases,. such as country/region, visits to certain regions, line of work (i.e. STEM fields, working with the military, government, or certain types of restricted fields), etc. There's also a level of randomness...people that apparently have no common traits as those that get a DS-5535 sometimes get one. Not everyone with those traits gets one.

How long it takes from DS-5535 being received to when a visa is issued or refused also seems to vary heavily.

 

Unfortunately, it's just a black box right now. I'm all for the legal team getting more info to support transparency - i.e. factors for being issued the DS-5535, factors contributing to the delay, etc.

 

I could be wrong, but I read that as he didn't want his statements to be interpreted or used by a legal team or in a legal argument without knowing the specifics of the case and arguments being made.

The keyword here and thanks for using it: Transparency

I am almost certain Visa Applicants would feel at ease if they are aware of the reasons behind their lengthy waits.

No one opposes security measures for the country's security is number one here. Only exploring better and faster ways.
