That’s what I’ve been reading. And yes spousal visa. 

Ok this might help u . What my lawyer did was that he made some of my fiancé’s relatives and friends write down letters about our relationship and how bad we wana be with each other and them saying how he’s a great man and stuff like that and each one signed their letter and put down their address. That was what my lawyer planned for me but then it turned out that my visa category didn’t require a waiver coz it wasn’t under the banned category, so I never used them. I don’t know if it works or not but I was just giving u an idea of it.

I sent them an email . This is the reply from the US embassy. The wait is killing me

If the council told u that , then hopefully it’s good news , don’t worry about others cases there are a lot who have gotten theirs in a month some two some three some 4 it’s different for everyone. My advice to u is that don’t read a lot about it coz it’s a headache and check the ceac updates and hopefully things will change for u soon.

I really hope it does  

how long has it been for them since the interview? And the council gave them the waiver right 

Hello everyone so I’m from the banned country “Yemen” but my interview was k1 visa in dijbouti, the council told me everything looks good and that I have to go through ap (I’m guessing it’s because of the ds5355 which I have submitted in the interview) . When I told him do I need a waiver he said k1 visa is not under the ban ( which felt relived) but now since my visa is supposingly not banned ! how long to get done with the frustrating ap process and get my visa 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyone knows similar stories ? Or even for those who got waived how long did they have to stay in ap !

My fiance went for the interview on June 7th, 2019 and was giving a OF-194 form for additional information.  She went back on June 13th and delivered all the requested documents and got 2nd interview on that same same day with different officer. The interview went smooth but was place under Administrative Processing (221g) and do not need to submit further documents.  Visa status is under Administrative Processing since June 18th, 2019.  Anyone with similar experience and know how long AP takes for Vietnam?

I am under the same situation but I’m from Yemen and it has been over 2 months already for me , it’s different for each country. 

its usually solved within 60 days from the interview date. 

Did she gets updates in the ceac website?

ABout all you can do is wait it out

many have been waiting months and some a year or more

there is  a continuous post here about the ds5535 from  those going thru it

search for this post of over 260 pages

 

 

Form DS-5535 'SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS FOR VISA APPLICANTS

Hopefully soon because I wasn’t given the ds5355 based on something bad popping out , it’s more of a thing that the embassy is obligated to do to all Yemenis after the ban , so I hope it doesn’t take that long , it’s very frustrating, about the email shall I not send ?

Hello , I had my k1 interview over 60 days ago and I got emailed before the interview to submit ds5355 and I did during the interview,  the council told me everything looks good but gave me 221g under administration processing as I am from one of the banned countries (yemen) I asked the council if I can apply for a waiver he told me k1 visa is not under the ban (which kinda made me feel relieved) and that they will get back to me through email , my case got updated on the website 3 times since then , my question is now shall I email the embassy ? Or shall I wait longer still , and what shall I include in it ! Did anyone get good news after emailing them :( 

this whole process is very very stressful !
