Sending an update...my fiancé from Egypt did get a DS-5535 and after 60 days in AP I contacted my senator even though everyone said it wouldn’t help.  My senator contacted the embassy, received a response back the same week, then two weeks later the embassy called my fiancé and told him the visa would be issued this month (May).  The website updated and is no longer in AP and he’ll have it in a week.
 
Don’t lose hope! Praying for peace to you 🙏🏼

They can help a lot actually. I know two other cases where a simple phone call from a senator’s office resulted in the respective embassies reviewing the cases and completing the processing. It’s not an intervention, it simply redirects attention to your case. Best of luck!

I am sorry the state senator can do nothing now, all you can do is turn in the paper that was asked for and wait, it takes about 60-90 days after new forms are asked for after that time you can send an email to the embassy an inquire about the status.

Yes, that’s exactly what happened! Thank you, yes, I’m checking CEAC obsessively!

Absolutely! Can certainly stop it from being ignored and sitting in a black hole somewhere though
