APRIL2023

To add, I’ll suggest peeps here to reach out to their local congress person (if it applies to your visa). I am with an IR1 visa with permanent address in California. I know some members on this discussion board had no luck, but I was able to get through to mine. My husband (American) called and was connected to their rep right away, member from their immigration / legal team. They can also I quite about status and sounds like their have someone with an “in” to help with the situation.

Coming close to 90 days mark for me. After multiple emails the consulate was able to confirmed that they have received all my DS5535 information (they did not email me for request of information). Consulted with Goldstein and was advices that I can submit WOM before 90 days mark, given factors of family separation and delay in accepting job offer as evidence of hardship. I have previously escalated to local congresswoman’s office and they too have agreed to further escalate given the above reasons. With movement at the congresswoman’s office, id decided to hold off with filing WOM. All these events happened last week, and my status was updated today. Hoping that this is good sign! Really hoping to not file WOM, as I was told that it’ll be at least another 3-4 months after filing WOM before decision will be made.
