Study

Pick a day within 90 days

Go back and bring your letter

 

90 = days from the date on the paper you were given.  I’d be back next week.  The questions are not that hard.

 

Do I have to wait for an appointment from the USCIS?

or just go any day within 90 days? 

Again, thank you so much.

Timona,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

The post's intention is to seek clarification on how to proceed. In no shape or form, I intended to disappoint or upset you  

To answer your "You were already told what to do. So, what else?" question. 

Should I just count the 90 days and then go? business days? Include weekends and holidays? Maybe I should wait for a notice electronically? Or a letter?

Thank you

Hello,

 

I applied for citizenship, and things went quickly. Within two months from submitting the N400 online, I had my interview.

 

My appointment was at 8 am and I was readier than ever. When the officer allowed me in, they began rather quickly, and neglected to have me do the oath. 

 

It seemed this person was in a very bad mood with an alarming negative attitude, but that was and is out of my control. I concentrated on me and answered

all questions. Surprisingly, I was asked to do the oath after the interview...??? Confusing, but what do I know. I was excited to hear the good new, but not so fast!

 

The officer handed me a piece of paper stating I failed the civics test, instructing me to come back within 90 days, and ushered out.

 

Now, some 2 weeks later and nothing, nada on my profile website, and nothing in the mail. What do I do?

 

Anyone went thru this experience before? I d appreciate any advice or input. I am just confused and disappointed.

 

Do I make the appointment again? will they email or mail me, or update my online profile?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi Jeanne,

Should I just count the 90 days and then go? business days? Include weekends and holidays? Maybe I should wait for a notice electronically? Or a letter? Should I contact the USCIS in person? The point of my post is that I am confused of what to do next. Thanks!

My husband's visa was approved today and I'm worried because the status still says "Ready". I thought it would've changed to "Administrative Processing"  a few hours after his interview. I'm just paranoid I guess. 

Congratulations  

Just a matter of days if not a day… Congrats again.

The interview was in December, since then you got put in AP and were asked to submit the dreaded DS-5535 form.  This will take time to review as you know, to go through everything on that form and do additional checks which is common with Morocco.  All you can do is wait and not worry about it.  If your relationship is bona fide, and it sounds like it is very strong, you will eventually get through this.  I think sending too many emails to the embassy is counter-productive and will only annoy the embassy staff reviewing your case.  Constant email inquiries will not speed up the DS-5535 process.  I would suggest an email once or twice a month, maybe a monthly phone call but no more.  Emailing or calling every day will only drive you crazy.  Try to focus on work or your own interests.  And visit your wife as often as you can in Morocco or another place for vacations together, to spend time together, to keep your relationship strong.  My husband and I see each other every couple of months while we wait and it really helps.  Lots of messages to each other, emails, video calls every day.  Focus on your relationship and the things you have control over, and try not to stress about the things you can't control.  This long wait to be together really sucks but you will eventually be together if you really want to.  Good luck!

Please post more and write more  Your reply is very soothing, positive, supportive and productive. I will try and do as you have suggested. Visajourney needs more like you.

Khoya, Info pass or whatever.  It is what it is regardless. My wife will be here nshlah sooner or later.

I am a proud American with A Service background and 100 s of thousands paid in Taxes over many years. I am A very successful man lhmdulah.

My beloved wife and I have great faith in my American government to reunite us soon nshlah regardless. We have everything needed and requested by the ConsulaTE.

Both my Congressman and Senator are on top of it, and my State Governor too. My lawyer will join in very soon and YES. They will make a difference no matter what dobab iliktroni will say here :) 

You guys are great help. Thank you :)

Always on VJ to help us all. You are so dedicated.

I am guilty but I won t be here after my wife receives her Visa ...

We will be so busy with life. A happy and healthy life with lots of children :) 

And if she does not get her Visa this week, She will get soon as I am a proud American who has served his country well.

My wife and I have trades, education, skills, money, good health, potential, vision and more to establish a great life nshlah ta3ala :)

That is correct. Thank you :)

Congressional inquiry is just a "nudge" or poke at the embassy. The embassy has it's own unique powers and they make the final decisions.

Agreed 120%. Thank you :)

December of when ? My parents were interviewed sept 2018 and case was applied sept 2017. No movement yet 

2018.

Sadly, People from 2017 are almost forgotten for one reason or another.

I read somewhere that a Vetting center opened few months ago.

The center could be the reason behind the speedy processing the recent applicants have enjoyed.

One applicant received Visa in hand after only 40 days On Ap Ds-5535. Another one received Visa in hand after 45 days.

Perhaps, the older Ds-forms are stuck somewhere while the most recent ones are processed in a timely manner.

Am I the only one to think so? I hope I am right and we reunite with our loved ones soon.

More and more Applicants are receiving Visas in hand after the Ds-5535 after only 40, 60 and 90 days?

Is this a good sign? Some from December have received Visas in hand too, and mostly from Morocco and Pakistan.

Best of Luck to all

thank you very much for your reply really appreciate it , did you get DS-5535 ??

Unfortunately, Yes  My wife and I are stuck. 

We are suffering Financial and Emotional Hardships due to this Unnecessary and Unjustified Form;

Well, let me clarify, Unjust for her, a young innoscent young lady, with nothing more or less than Fashion,

foodie videos or photos of us together on her Fb page. She s never been outside of Morocco nor had the smallest of brushes with the law. She is a fashion designer and make up artist. Very far from fanaticism nor any none sense. 

Unjust because young men who spent years in Turkey and Europe illegally, flew right thru the system. While my wife, a 73 year old gray grandmother and a 14 year old boy must wait for over one year in AP due to Form Ds-5535. Where is the justice?

Totally for Extreme Vetting and National Security, but it must be fair and just.

The wait is inhumane and torturous. We would not wish this on the worst of enemies. 

The good news: Your interview is certain to take place.

Prepare and over prepare as K1 s have had low success rates, and unlike CR1's, one can not appeal if denied.

Furthermore, recently Casablanca Consulate has cut down on The Extreme Vetting (Ds-5535) forms.

Your wait could just be a blessing in Disguise  

Bon Courage.

Count your blessings  You dodged the Dreaded Ds-5535.

IMO just a matter of few more weeks, if not days, and you will receive your Visa.

Bon Courage.

we   don't need to know the country or particulars 

but you say don't ignore the signs,  did you see warning signs before the visa ?

Again, the sad part is the fact that this person and the likes fly thru the Visa system;

Just like he almost swindled the USC, he could very possibly get Visa in hand within 3 days after Interview.

Very sad that many USC's don t do their homework like the OP and cut the cord as she says. 

Op must be very active here and spread the word although many are blinded by "love".

And Yes. Families do take part in the Scam, as the Beneficiary will become a Mac Machine once here

Hi everyone, 

 

Did anyone travel to Morocco with an expired GC and an extension letter? if yes, I would really appreciate if you could share your experience getting back to the US. 

 

Thanks!

I am almost certain you would be fine, but... Personally, I would not do it unless I am able to take the chance of being turned away at the POE. Immigration is undergoing some serious and trying times as the current administration is not fond of immigrants form Morocco and such.

Did you do the WOM? I too am considering it. My lawyer contacted me a few times recommending i do it... my husband has been on AP after DS 5535 for 10.5 months (Afghanistan) they kept his passport during interview and we only get updates if we inquire about our case.

Did you ask your lawyer if you are taking a chance with "WOM"? I have read if your case is not complete, they would just deny the Visa altogether. I also read the Gov. can ask for an extension beyond the 60 days. What s the cost? 

1 hour ago, pooch1986 said:

If the 60 day comes and they are not done, they will request additional time... They can ask for more time in 30 day or 60 day chunks. Going through court records I could see cases where the government asked for additional time 2 or 3 times. *Every* attorney I have spoken to says you should agree to their extension request.  So I don't know what would happen if you didn't grant them the extension they asked for...

 

Thank you. Personally, I will hire an attorney if no Visa this summer. What s the cost?

I think anyone in this situation realistically has to be prepared to move overseas to be with their spouse, as nothing is ever guaranteed in immigration.

 

We had a plan B, and that was even for NZ, which is not a country of people wanting to immigrate to the US.

You are right.; Nothing is ever guaranteed in Nothing.

It will result in a refusal if they don't have enough information to make a decision. My understanding is it will not result in them stop processing the case to determine eligibility.

Let s say the case is still undergoing background checks. Will they reject/deny/refuse the visa if 60 days come by and the checks have not completed? or allow it to forego the necessary steps and decide then? My wife and I have an urgent situation where we must be together soon, and we would hire an attorney if we won t risk her Visa altogether. Of course, I can relocate, but my career, family and life are here. Moving would be our last option.
