No they didn’t know

😔 So we were refused under the PP and being considered for a waiver. No 5535 request as of now besides the email I got the other day. My wife says out of all the Syrians and Iranians in the embassy only an old couple was issued. 

My wife actually just went. I’ll let u know what happens. Praying for good news 🙏🏻

I think that you should wait, there is a high chance that you will not be put in AP.

A Syrian friend of mine recently did his interview for CR-1 visa in Amman embassy and he wasn't put in AP. They just told him they would need a couple of days to process the waiver and issue the visa. Don't worry I think your husband will get his passport back with the visa issued on it soon. Since at the embassy they never mentioned AP to you and they requested his passport I think you are good. 

The new automatic waiver process has made things faster for people who are having their interviews recently. 

Good luck and keep us updated.

Hi everyone, I’ve been a silent viewer on this page for a while. My husband had his interview last week at the Riyadh US Embassy. The officer said everything was good but he had to get his marriage certificate certified and to send the document with his passport back to the Embassy. Which he did. But there is one problem, he holds Somali passport. But the officer never mentioned he will be banned but he will be Oky if he sends his document back with the passport. Since the day of his interview until now, on the CEAC site, it says REFUSED. Will that change, I’m so nervous for him and so over this process. Sorry if this post is to long. I will really appreciate if any one can answer. Thank you in advance ☺️.

Dear all, 
 
FINALLY; my wife got her visa today. 
 
Here is a summary of all the ####### we have gone through: 
 
Filed I-130 on05/13/2017
Interviewed in Amman on 06/24/18
 
We filed WOM on 07/26/19
 
We received a call from the embassy on 09/17/19 to re-do medical exam and submit DS-260 and police certificate. They also informed us that we are scheduled for a re-oath on 10/26/19
 
My wife went to Amman embassy and the re-oath was a group one. There were over 150 people scheduled for a re-oath and all of them were Syrians! 
After the re-oath, the embassy gave applicants a slip of paper and asked them to come back after two days to pick up their passports. After handing out the passports today, applicants went through a face to face survey asking questions about the situation in  syria such as safety, livelihood etc...
 
And now we come to closure! 

Today the status on CEAC updated from READY to ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING to ISSUED. So, within a matter of few days, we went from REFUSED all the way to ISSUED. Crazy when you actually think about it.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully this week you will hear something back. 

They took passport right after interview and said it would be issued within 4-5 days. It has been 6 business days, still waiting. Inshallah this week!
Bro in law interviewed same week. They also took his passport and told him the same thing. His was issued 2 days later. 
 

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you an update on our case. Yesterday, we submitted medical and other relevant documents to the embassy. Today got invited for fingerprints. Status on CEAC now changed from REFUSED to READY. We were informed that we can pick up the passport as soon as next week Tuesday. Case is handled by US embassy in Yerevan. Under AP for exactly 1 year and 6 months. Once embassy reached out regarding waiver, everything was rapidly processed by them.

just to change the mood 😂

Alhamdulilah.
CR1 from Riyadh embassy 
Interview December 2018

I just wanted to tell my story. So here it is
My husband had his interview at Ankara Embassy, Turkiye. Everything was great except the VO got our co-sponsor household . The co sponsor was my dad. He was given a white slip saying find a new Co sponsor. We were absolutely crushed and left in shock as well as our attorney.  We gathered more evidence up to prove that the household was only three and that my father made more then plenty to sponsor him. We wrote a cover letter explaining the guidelines ,along with a copy of the poverty guidelines. We resubmitted everything and emailed the embassy. In just one day we recieved an email to send his passport along with the co sponsors tax papers and aos. In just two days we recieved the email saying he was approved and now has his passport in hand all within 5 days. If you know the visa officer made a mistake then address it. They are only human. He will be coming by Oct 15. Good luck to everyone out. This visa journey is now over.  I'm so happy and will continue to pray for those of you still waiting. 
 

I’m still here waiting for IL. 

Keep us updated and good luck.

I heard of one recent case here at the kuala lumpur embassy, interviewed in sept and at the end of his interview was told to leave his passport with them. About a week later, visa was issued. My husband's interview is also coming up this week. Inshallah all the best for all of us.

I do think it's a muslim ban, largely because of the president and his staff's rhetoric regarding Muslims. Those at the hearing also brought up good counterpoints to the witnesses from DOS and DHS. For example the chairwoman, stated that if the U.S gov truly doesn't trust the information coming from the Iranian gov regarding their citizens then why are Iranian student visas not a part of the ban. Plus, Obama and the administrations that came before him, had already introduced a more rigorous vetting system and it has been largely successful in keeping terrorists out of the country. Trump took it to a whole new level and attempted to "fix" a system that was doing just fine, due to his dislike of immigrants from certain countries. According to this article, from 2002 to 2016 the rate at which a deadly attack was carried out by an immigrant has been "one for every 379 million visa or status approvals". Trump should really be trying to curb the increasing domestic terrorist attacks.

Hello all, I got CC during August, Amman embassy and seeing you all wait for so long is so depressing because I know I will be waiting for a few months too.
 
But for all of you who are already waiting for a few months, stay strong, most likely you are almost there.
 
Good luck all!
 

So basically I wanted to speak to a Supervisor to inform her or staff of my particular situation. I was successful in that in where she was walking by and heard my request and stood behind the intaker to read the computer screen and she asked if I was given anything at all, as I should have been, and I was not. Now it reads escalate to post this morning. Fingers crossed.

They also released the stats from March to June (The Quarterly Report). I saw them this morning on the website.
