US Immigration from Tunisia

Hello everyone,

I have a question I had an appointment for biometric i751 since March 06 and was canceled due to covid19 and I'm still waiting for them to reschedule but I didn't hear anything yet should I call them because I called about a month ago and they told me wait they will reschedule soon I don't know what to do

Hello, My husband had his interview (Tunisia ) on late August. His interview was approved. But according to the consular officer the DS-5535 was needed to issue his visa. He was given 221g sheet and asked to fill out DS-5535 Supplemental Questions as soon as possible. He was told that the form will be sent to Washington DC for a review. We got the DS5535 form on the same day of his interview (appx. after 2 hours). We filled out and send back to them on same day. After sending the form, we sent an email to confirm that they received and send the form to Department of State. We got confirmation email on next day of interview that they received the form and sent to Department of State. He was told that his case now is under Administrative Processing.

Since then, we have not seen any status or date update on CEAC website. It's been exactly 40 days passed since the interview. I was wondering if anyone been through same process before? I know the process does not have a fix time and it varies US consulate.

My question is, will that be helpful to involve my local congressman or senator in this situation? What rights do we have in order to get an update in our case status?

Thank you
