giving back the passport does not mean anything bad. Sometimes, they give back the passport then they will call him and ask for the passport for visa isuance. hope your husband will gt his visa soon. keep faith. do not listen to any negative comments.
Good Luck.

Everyone here: PLEASE write/speak  contact your senator. Let our voice be heard in the Congress that what we are going through is simply unfair.
Silence is not an answer. I know everyone here is scared of doing so thinking this may lead to more delays and possibly denial. This is just not true, in fact being citizens this is our duty to respect our country and use the proper channels to air our concerns and request fair and just treatment. I just wrote to my senator whom I am in touch. I think our senators should bring this issue to the senate floor.

Hi, Yes I did ask my senator to inquire on my behalf. They did contact the Embassy, however they receive the same response that I also get. However it is VERY important everyone here let his/her senator know about what is going on. This is much more than security. This is simply delays for citizens who are waiting for their loved ones. Unless everyone here write to his/her senators we may end up waiting until the next round of election 2022 before our loved ones join us.

Call your Congress representatives (The Two Senators and the Represents): This is how democracy work!
The congress doesn't know much about what is going on with us (suffering from the DS 5535). The dreamers issue (DACA) was raised by those who are effected by the current administration decision to cancel the DACA. The only way we can be heard is by calling and writing to our senators to let them know that we are suffering from the DS 5535 and made to wait for month and months even after completing all the requirements. Let the senators bring this issue to the attention of the congress and the nation to have it resolved and for good. I certainly support a fair screening process that keep our country (USA) safe. However it is very unfair to be divided from our loved ones and kept blind!

nothing yet. still waiting..........

Another heart melting case... the situation here is very hard since it is involving kids. its also tough on you as a father emotionally....i knowexactly how you feel i am in the same situation with two sad kids that dream daily that their father will surprise them at home, in school....And stay with them ever after....its the least right for them i know...But time is passing and its not happening yet..i pray every day that this nightmare come to an end soon.
I hope that the US officials will find a solution for cases that involve a dad/mom away from their kids, hopefully a faster process for the sake of protecting families from falling apart. I know the importance of the nuclear family in the states and i hope a solution will appear soon.
stay strong my friend you will be with your family soon and i pray for all the readers to get with their loved ones at the earliest.
 

no man try to stay positive, its very tough but you have to do that for your family and yourself. your kids will always be your kids despite the distance. when they grow up they will understand.

Same situation here i have a 8 & 12 years old. I am trying to raise them up and teach them via whats app and video calls since 28 months!!! If i did not have kids, it would still be hard but not as much. I pray for all of us to get united with our families soon.

waiting after a long wait. It's a very hard situation...that's all i can say.

its very hard for all of us as adults.... But, with kids its a disaster. They are depressed and sad, they are so attached to me. I wish the Immigration authorities would consider such cases. They have been counting the days through my process till the day of the interview (28 months). 
Last week after the interview i had to file my DS-5535 and status is AP.  Now, we have to wait again!! But we do not know for how long!!. i have no idea what to tell my kids this time.
Hopefully this nightmare will end soon and we all meet our loved ones.
