Hello all! Our case is no longer in AP and our visa status is now issued. 

My fiancé is based out of Kabul and I am very thankful that the AP process went by quickly. I pray for the best for everyone else! Patience is key 

Congratulations 🎊

My sister got an update again status changed from REFUSED to READY. It says your case is ready for interview? But we have our interview already! It says wait for your appointment date and time? Do people get interviewed again? Or this is a glitch?

It's normal in most cases when review completed it changed to Ready and stays for sometime week or two then reverse to AP and later changed to Issued. Its a good sign.

Hi,

You need to mail it. Once you get your medical report, take that along with a copy of your husband's passport and printout of email from embassy to AEG. You'll need to create an account with ustraveldocs if your husband never did - ppl at AEG can guide you on that. I was unable to create my account initially because my passport had expired so I was told to enter a wrong expiry date.

 

After submitting my medical I emailed the embassy but never received any response. Only last week I got a call that they are sending my expired passport back and that I should send them the new one. I am still waiting for them to send me an email before I can submit my new passport as AEG doesnt take your documents unless you have a written email.

Send them email for your fresh passport to resubmit to AEG, they won't accept your passport until you attach email requesting to submit new passport, last month they sent me my passport to send fresh coz old one is going to expire so they sent me email which I take to AEG on 28th September after that mine case updated twice, waiting for another email which they have to call me for fingerprints and Oath. In your case why they didn't request same time they ask for redo medical.

Hello,

 

I had interview on July and CO told me your passport well be return after two weeks but unfortunately i did not hear from usa embassy Islamabad and after ask the status of my passport then they reply me you case visa has been refuse for administrative processing.

Si what does it mean?

Your visa application is in Administrative processing for background checks if they didn't ask any additional documents at the time of interview, did consular officer gave you 221g paper.

Can anyone help me understand why there is written INCOMPLETE in my DS260 status

Nothing to worry open your ds260 and refill if your address phone number if its changed and plus they add social media info/handles like Twitter, YouTube and email address, there's a whole list, if you don't use write N/A

Doesn't make sense to me why they would not ask for all the needed documents at the same time. From your email attachment I can see that they make it clear that the next step is fingerprints/oath and hence the background security checks are complete. I don't like to think that people in US embassy would by mistake miss out details like expired medical reports. Maybe they plan to call you to embassy at a date which will give you ample time to get medical done again (eg they might tell you to come for fingerprints/oath 30 days from now - enough time to get medical again).

 

For my case its the opposite - they asked for new medical but did not ask for new passport. They did not even mention fingerprints/oath etc. Now for me if they don't ask for my renewed passport before my medical expires I'll have to get medical done once again.

So on the bright you won't have to worry about that at least

Don't really know why they do this all, what on earth stopping them to ask all required doc's to complete the application, their whole Immigrant visa system is shitty and sickening, I can imagine people in Ap for more than year and two still the situation is black and white for them, all we can do pray to God to take us out of this.

Unfortunately, since they have my expired passport, I can't renew my passport. I suspect they'd need a new passport before they proceed further. Do they ask everyone for new fingerprints?

Mine wasn't expired only validity left 3 months so mid Sept they sent me mail I past the exact they sent me and I did send my Fresh passport last week, anyone gone through with similar/or have any info like how long they will take to call for fingerprint and Oath, plus mine medical has expired as well.

I was asked to resubmit medical and photos end of July. I mailed those docs to embassy mid August. Sent them a few emails after that but have not received any reply. My passport which is with them has expired and my status online shows 'expiring soon'. So just wondering what's happening. My interview was in September 2018 and I got the DS form in Jan 2019.

13th September embassy sent back my expired passport and sent  mail that we have reviewed your immigration visa case and to move forward we need your valid passport and mail also said once we receive passport we will then schedule you for fingerprint and Oath, which I sent on 30th September, But my medical also expired but didn't mention anything about medical, any info...

Congratulations 🎊

Switzerland and South Korea are not UAE, and the DOS website reflects the current reciprocal agreement between those two countries as AVAILABLE 

Here I can agree with you, and will you pls send me that link of DOS, thanks for sharing. 

Just now, payxibka said:

My quote is from the official portal of the US Department of State

Since you quoting DOS, maybe right but now I tell you my own experience I had Interviewed in April IV Visa, at time of interview he asked me police clearance certificate from 🇨🇭 Switzerland where I studied like 20 years ago and from South Korea where I lived in 2010 so I did get both and submit to Consulate within 3 weeks.

Will that affect my visa application even after waiving the document? 

They will ask for dubai pcc infact any country you lived more than 6 months need to present and it can affect only if your employer made any complaint in police or file lawsuit, you can check this through your company PRO. Hope this can help..😣

Interesting. Ours opened exactly a year after interview.

My sister and her family f3 category opened her ds260 exactly after one year.

I think you misunderstand. We have already filled out the DS5535 form. And I filed it on his behalf so he didn’t have to do it. I needed someone to explain to him in detail about why we were given this form and what we can do about it. He just wanted to understand everything and talk to someone else in his language about this. He wanted to relate to someone. His English is great and we have no problem communicating. But when it comes to official documents, he won’t understand everything because he is not the one filling out the paperwork and doesn’t understand the full process. That is why he doesn’t understand why the wait is so long and why we are stuck in this process. But thank you for helping. I have found a few people he could speak to about this now  

I am so sorry, this AP and Ds5535 making life difficult for people it's so frustrating and no one knows when this going to over they never keeps applicant on loop, anyways that's good if you found someone to explain him better. Good luck.

My husband never received an email to update medical or to update the DS 260 but now the application appears as incomplete and I don’t know what to do. There hasn’t been anything to update. Should we send it anyways?

 

Every applicant passes one year of his ds260 need to update if nothing has change during year like your address, number etc etc leave it like this and submit again and seems your husband AP has finished that's why they ask for fresh medical.

Please, does anyone here speak Arabic/Darija (Moroccan Arabic) ? My husband still doesn’t understand what the process is for DS-5535 and believe me, I have told him EVERYTHING and have read every page on this forum from the beginning. He thinks that there is a magical number that we can call and that we can ask a superior what’s going on and that they will help us instantly. It is frustrating when petitioners I guess you can say “accept” the situation more than the recipient. Recipients are just sitting ducks in the dark. But what they don’t understand is that all the information we know is what it is. I am starting to feel like a punching bag. 
 

PLEASE, can anyone explain this to my husband or know anyone who understands how this process is? He’s asking if I could search for someone who can explain to him in better detail in Arabic or darija since I have explained everything in English but he doesn’t seem to understand. 

Well I am wondering if he understands English well then what's the problem this is so simple it's just a form and it's completely about applicant simply he need to answer of each question asked in form its not more than an hour work, but I am so sorry I can't speak Arabic I think you should come to Facebook and join page (Administrative process 221g) I have seen most of the people are Arabic on this page or one more thing if any of your husband friend have better understanding can do this. 

The best option is tell your husband to mail you same form and you can do on his behalf stay online with him while filling Information so he can assist you about him and his siblings

Thank u for the reply. My husband has his interview November 6,2018 and they kept his passport and week later sent him the DS5535. Since then case has updated few times on its own and lately it updates only when I inquire. And currently even after inquiry it has not updated. 

Now whenever case update its own thats mean your background checks are completed and Advisory opinion has back to post, they will only update once its completed like they asked me to send valid passport to move case forward. Hopefully it will over soon.

It's showing that ur case is in administrative process. And the CO kept my passport and told me to upload just one doc which is my husbands tax transcript. He gave me 221g ticked on tax transcript only

Normally AP takes lot of time no one know or can predict specially when it comes to Applicant from islamabad Consulate, but female applicant approves quicker as compare to male applicant. Good luck.

My husband had his interview yesterday in Ghana. The CO asked the normal questions. Then she left and came back with the white slip that simply had administrative processing selected at the bottom. She did not ask for any other documents but she keep our original marriage license and his original birth certificate. I called my Texas State Senator and was told there was nothing that can be done except wait. Please advise

All you have to wait, its wait game but you never know everyone has different case. Good luck.

Wowww .. Congratulations 👍

I used to see your posts usually and its been a very long AP for your son. I am really glad to see the fruitful result that he got his visa. 

I am still waiting for my visa since my interview on November 14, 2018 and we got the DS-5535 on Jan 29, 2019. 

Please do keep us in your prayers. 

In the meantime enjoy your time in USA 😍

Munazza Many congratulations for your son visa, I know how much you worried about him that's great news. Well as you know I had interview in April 2019 and given Ds5535 recently my case status updated on 11 and 13 September and they ask me to send valid new passport as old one expired and mail says once you submit inform us so we can schedule you for fingerprint and Oath just want to ask what happened when. Your son went for fingerprint and Oath any question they asked or just has to appear before official takes fingerprints first time.

Is the old expired passport required in order to make a new passport? My husband (case in Islamabad) has an expired passport which the embassy still has after the interview. I’m wondering if my husband should make his new passport and have it ready for when embassy requests for it or wait until they request renewal... 

Hi mira3 well in my case last week they update my case and sent my passport coz passport left only 4 months to complete flat, well same thing what you asking had in my mind and thought of making new so without wasting time can send new once embassy ask for it. When did your husband had his interview and did he fill questionnaire Ds5535 and yes passport office do ask for expired passport you have to have with you when you go for renewal, but if you know someone in passport office it's not a big deal, but you should have copy of your passport.
