You can look at our timeline. My husband also submitted the DS-5535 and we waited an entire year, several updates but still refused. After we reached the 13th month of waiting, we filed a Mandamus lawsuit in February of this year. Visa was issued in about two months, and he arrived in the US on May 15th. I cannot tell you how many emails I sent and had two of my state senators inquire on our behalf and was told we just have to wait until Washington completed their checks. This doesn't mean yours will take that long. Some as I am sure you have read complete in a few weeks, months or a year. I am sending prayers your way and hopefully it completes soon.

Ankara embassy handles Iraqi and Iranian citizens, and I am sure other nationalities. My husband was assigned to Ankara due to Baghdad embassy being closed. He just had to obtain a Turkish visa for entry which was good for 30 days to go for his medical and interview.

Hello. My fiance entered on a K1 visa and we are now married and preparing his register for permanent residence. Looking through my timeline I have the I-485, I-765 and I-131 and the supporting documents for each form. Is this all that needs to be sent in? Since an I-864 affadavit of support was done prior to his interview, I do not need to send this form again correct? The I-693 when does this get submitted? Thank you for your help.

K1 fiancé visa, I am the US Citizen, and my fiancé is from Baghdad and his case was assigned to Ankara embassy. After a year of waiting for the DS-5535 we received the email that AP is completed and to renew medical and send passport. He flew from Baghdad to Ankara and did his medical this morning. I am sure it is not wise for him to wait in Turkey. Does he fly back and then ships his passport to the embassy? And this can be done with DHL I assume so he can have a tracking number. Also, it said to update the DS160 only if it is re-opened status. I log onto CEAC like I normally do, and I do not see any message about resubmitting the DS160. I want to make sure we are not missing anything. Thank you!
