    Huge congratulations! I'm sure you are immensely happy right now! As an update, I interviewed early Feb 2023, sent in docs March 2023 and still have not had any updates whatsoever, other than the occasional update on the tracker. All of these updates corresponded to generic email responses I would get after emailing for updates though.

    Glad you said this,because I was also under the assumption that this would constitute fraud. Hence,why my spouse and I went through the CR-1/IR-1 process. Take heed fellow readers and keep following the rules (and unfortunately waiting a massively line time).

    To be honest I didn't even get a stamp the last time I entered US, but I'm assuming it would be B2 as the few other times I've gotten a stamp it's said that. Just frustrating to hear that I maybe could have just showed up in the USA 2 years ago, filed a change of status and have already been working and living with my spouse there over the past year. Instead, I (and many people here) have chosen to go the CR-1 or IR-1 route because we wanted to be honest and forthright with our intentions, and yet we are shuffled off to the side and delayed upon delayed by the bureaucratic processes - even when we have proven we would be valuable citizens to the USA (no criminal record, valuable skills). We are separated from our family cruelly and unjustly, and absolutely nothing is being done about it. If anything, the delays are now getting longer. Makes you wonder if it wouldn't be better to just show up and say "hey I want a new status" and avoid all of this bureaucratic BS.

    The most recent time I crossed into the USA, the border control officer mentioned that I could just stay in the USA and adjust my status (he supposedly did this with his wife, who was born outside the USA). Of course, I would prefer to go through the way I have set out to do already as it means I can continue to work here in Canada while I am present in the country - but does anyone have any experience with that process? It seems (according to the BCO) that the process is currently only taking a few months to get status adjusted. Pros seem to be that the process might be faster. Cons being you cannot leave the country and would be unable to work/potentially causes even further delays since you are essentially abandoning this process.

    Does anyone actually know what they are required to do on their end once we send them our DS5535? I.E. when we send then our 15 year travel/work,etc. history,are they having to contact every single country and place we went to/worked at/lived in?

    How are people who submitted their DS5355 in Feb/Mar 2023 doing right now? I don't have any word yet (a few updates but I'm thinking it was someone opening my file when I emailed asking about progress). Curious to see if anyone has been given any kind of notices without having filed a WOM. Stay strong!
