Hi All, We randomly decided to log into CEAC and noticed that under IV Application it says Re-opened and the highlight box says "once you have made your changes, to resubmit DS-260". Does this mean anything? I don't really want to click on anything out of fear it will mess something up in the back end... It's been a while since I last checked but this is the first time I'm seeing it say "Re-Opened".
-
Has anyone abandoned this route and decided to have their American spouse immigrate to Canada instead? What is that process like? Is it just as slow?
-
Thanks all. Will keep the group updated with any movement.
-
They haven't since we're still within the timeframe they have to respond. And no changes to my case in CEAC. This email didn't even correspond with a case update, which it usually does when I get those generic email responses from them.
-
Yup lawyers have been informed, so awaiting their response. We filed for WOM last month.
-
Thanks. Yeah, I'm guessing (and hoping) it means we're just continuing the wait... I haven't received/seen anything like this before either, which is why I had a mini panic attack.
-
Hmm thanks... yeah, I submitted my responses to DS5535 last year... exactly 11 months ago today, actually!

Hi All, I just received this email from the MTL consulate. Is this any different from what I've been in since being placed in AP? Or is this the final decision by the embassy? I'm coming up to the year mark since my interview... Being in AP is one thing but I truly have no idea why I would be denied. If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated. Good afternoon, The consular officer, after carefully considering your application and reviewing all available information, determined you have not established that you are eligible for a visa and denied your visa application under INA 221(g). Additional security screening is being conducted. Depending on the screening results, a consular officer may reconsider your eligibility for the visa. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Regards,

Hey Everyone, I've been tracking the Google Spreadsheet and it's super disheartening to see that there have been very few updates and approvals. How is everyone coping? I'm just at a loss and can't believe it's been now almost 6 months since my interview. Filing for WOM is something we don't really have the bandwidth for but is this the only way forward? This whole situation is just mind-boggling...

Great news! Happy for you.
-
That's exciting! You'll have to keep us updated. How long has the wait been for you since the interview/DS-5535?
-
Oh interesting! What have the status changes been? I haven't seen a status change but they've "opened" my case once or twice since, whatever that means...
-
Interview was on April 13th so still getting over the initial shock after getting the verbal approval at the embassy. Keep us updated on that process. Good luck!
-
Hah I feel you . How long have you guys been waiting?
-
Any DS-5535 approvals lately?
-
Hi There - I'm with you, and it hasn't even been a week since I submitted mine Question - has your status changed at all? Like refused to AP? Mine is still saying "refused"... Anyways, seems like we're on a similar timeline so I'm looking forward to getting updates from you. The lack of visibility and uncertainty of it all is the worst part. Thanks for sharing... that is super helpful. I'm planning on flying to NYC this weekend.
-
Got it. Yeah, they kept mine but got DS-5535'd yesterday. I just got an email though from them saying my passport is being sent back along with the Purolator tracking number. So just a little confused.
-
Hey Everyone - another question! For anyone who was received DS-5535, would the embassy send your passport back proactively? Has this happened to anyone? Or would you have to request for them to send it back? Thanks! Amanda
-
Wow - I'm so sorry. That's super discouraging to hear 😔 If you could share how to request my passport back, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, thank you. I'm sorry you're in the same boat too. Have you received any updates? This is really such an awful process.

Hi Everyone, I had my interview this past Thursday. Everything went well, and the officer even told me she intended on approving me and took my passport. She told me to expect it within 2 weeks. I received an email today to fill out the DS-5535 and status in CEAC is showing "refused". I have seen people denied at interview and then asked to fill out the form, but has anyone been in the situation as me where they have my passport now and was told they were going to approve? At a loss and feeling super discouraged and confused. I have a pretty extensive travel history so filling that out for past 15 years seems very daunting. Any insight welcome. Amanda

Gosh - this process really puts you through the wringer 😥. But thanks so much.
-
Thank you! Grateful for the info and support from this group.
-
Hey everyone - I'm panicking a bit now because my status has switched to "refused", which is really confusing because I was told they planned on approving me, took my passport, and told me to expect within 2 weeks. I'm super confused and I haven't heard anything from the embassy regarding any information they might've missed or additional questions they have. Has anyone experienced this before?
