DS-5535 Last update keeps changing

[Deagle 494]

Hello everyone,

 

I tried to look if this question was asked before here but I couldn't find a thread.

 

Family member attended an IR5 interview and were given paper to complete DS-5535 and send back. They completed this few weeks ago, since then the "Case Last Updated" date keeps changing every 2 or 3 days but the status still says "Refused".  Last update was last night.

 

Does this really mean anything?

 

 

Thanks

Not really.  I have seen cases which updated just by checking the status.  At some point, either the consulate will contact the beneficiary or the status will change to "Issued, etc".   There are others who are seeing the same thing on their cases.

That's what I thought. It seems like just an auto update for some reason lol.

Hi just checking any updates ? How long did the ds5355 take to get approved? We just got one and I’m worried it’ll take forever

Yes - the DS-5355 was approved after 20 days of sending it via email to the US embassy. The visa was issued the next day after approval. Good luck.
