It’s quite the slog, I would say the timeline of a year is good. We were seeing average around 200-300 days post interview. Like yourself just finding this thread, I’m sure there are many more in AP who are not on this list. So it is not the most accurate picture. But there are people getting through without filing WOM so at least that is encouraging.

Hi @Toddhugh I am EB1A Visa almost the exact same timing as you. Interview May 26th, Submitted DS 5535 on June 7th. Here is our current Excel Tracking Sheet, you can see those who have got through so far. Someone who had an interview in January I believe just got their greencard in hand but no one in February that we know of has even gotten a request for return of passport yet. So we are a bit troubled by that. Please take a moment to enter your info on the sheet so we can follow along. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jV7rzX2eCRVoEDRhOtN9a6hDoHRLNEf1P3ZGZbQ0_Dc/edit#gid=0

Please whoever has gotten through recently make sure it update your spot on the tracker so that you can help everyone still waiting. If you have not added yourself to the tracker please do so. Thank you https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1jV7rzX2eCRVoEDRhOtN9a6hDoHRLNEf1P3ZGZbQ0_Dc/htmlview#gid=0

I just wanted to say it's not anyone's fault they were put on D-5535. Let's try and cut ourselves some slack and accept that this is an unfair thing that happened to us, but there will be an end to it someday. Maybe some people are flagged for nationality but I think it's very random. We were told at our meeting that it was random. We are English/French/German. Our families are several generations immigrated Canadian. We have super clean records. Our lawyer told us that he had a Canadian teacher with a perfectly clean record wait a year to go through AP after he married an American Citizen. It's helped me to try and focus on other things. (I've gone back to school for a 6 month course) It helped to do something to put the power back into our hands. We can't move until I'm done the course now. Realistically, based on our spreadsheet it will be between 200-300 days from your meeting until you get an answer. Hang in there

I’ve had no problem at all entering. They’ve never asked once during any part of the process. I’ve gone back and forth several times.

Hi @Maple Yang did you have a D5535 or were you just missing a document?

Hi Fayisa, Please refer to the groups tracking spreadsheet. There are a few added on there that have been completed and you can see the timelines. Maximum seems to be less than two months from sending passport to receiving it back in hand. Others are quicker. Please add your dates to the tracker to help others in the future! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jV7rzX2eCRVoEDRhOtN9a6hDoHRLNEf1P3ZGZbQ0_Dc/edit#gid=0

@Wcr984 Are you in the medical field? I think they would push through medical professionals quicker, especially nurses.

Hi there, I see someone has gone through and changed the way the dates are listed on the group excel sheet. That's okay and should help with clarity. However, doing this may have made your dates incorrect depending on if you listed day first or month first when you first entered your dates. (for instance my DQ date changed to 2022 from 2019 and my date returned DS-5535 was 2006 from 2023) Can everyone go and check to see if your dates are still correct? Also, if someone would like to improve the sheet that is great and encouraged as it is for all of us, but I think it would be helpful to broach it to the group first so that everyone knows what is going on, can provide input on the changes, and can keep the sheet accurate. Let me know what you think Thanks! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jV7rzX2eCRVoEDRhOtN9a6hDoHRLNEf1P3ZGZbQ0_Dc/edit#gid=0

Just a reminder for anyone who hasn't yet. Could you please add your case to our group excel sheet here. It’s helpful for people to see where everyone is at in the process, especially as they start getting through. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jV7rzX2eCRVoEDRhOtN9a6hDoHRLNEf1P3ZGZbQ0_Dc/edit

Hi Alice, My husband and I were put into a D5535 at our interview - meaning extended processing. I am hearing it could take up to a year to process, even though the officer quotes 2 weeks at the interview.

Thanks everyone who has so far filled out the spreadsheet. It would be great if we could also get some people who have already been all the way through the process (if they are still following) to add in their info as well. This will grow to be a great resource for us and those in the future who come into the group!

Hello, I have created a spreadsheet for us all to use to track our progress. Another group used this type of sheet to track when their meetings would be scheduled from DQ date and it was really helpful to see approximate processing times. Please see attached online Excel Sheet. Let me know if you have any questions or think I missed anything that should be added. I've went ahead and added my information on the first line. Thanks! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jV7rzX2eCRVoEDRhOtN9a6hDoHRLNEf1P3ZGZbQ0_Dc/edit?usp=sharing

Interesting did you watch before your interview or after? My husband and I not TAL or MENA. We are actors and we were told it was random.

Thank you for updating. Our consulate officer said we were put in AP by random so this make a lot of sense. And yes it’s totally unfair. It is helpful to know though that we are not alone in this. Good luck and here’s hoping for a speedy processing.
