    True. I guess consulate still send the resume to DC for vetting as CO may not be expert in all TAL subjects

    Another VJ member @tas005 were given 221g in November 2023. MTL asked him to submit Resume only without DS-5535. Consulate kept his passport. We did not hear any update from him.

    DS-5535 is given to individuals meeting any one of following criteria: 1. Education or work experience in TAL (Technology Alert List) 2. Born in MENA countries or certain Asian countries 3. Extensive travel history 4. Randomly selected by system for AP.

    Congrats! Does your visa annotation say "Clearance Received on <<date>>?
  5. Leo The Great
    Yes - you get one printout as you mentioned after interview. One generic information paper (Not specific to case) will be delivered with passport that indicates how to pay Green Card fee and other info etc.

    if you want to enter your information for tracking and for the benefits of other, spreadsheet is maintained for MTL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jV7rzX2eCRVoEDRhOtN9a6hDoHRLNEf1P3ZGZbQ0_Dc/edit#gid=0

    Sorry to hear about that. I am not sure why your wife was served with DS-5535 for an expired visa on old passport? Anyway looks like DS-5535 cases are not making any progress for MTL since March 2023.

    Our case is way behind in queue so just waiting to hear good news from other members.

    I would buy very small 'Binder Clips' from Walmart/Staples and use them. In majority of the cases you have to provide Original/Certified Birth Certificates, Marriage Certificate, latest Tax Transcripts/W-2 of sponsor, original police reports and current passport.

    There are a lot of DS-5535 case awaiting clearance in Montreal consulate starting from Feb/Mar 2023. If you are planning to file WOM, read last few pages of forum below to get latest situation/opinion on filing WOM

    >>The sad thing, that full CV is attached as Exhibit #1 with my Petition Even if you provide resume during interview, CO ask to wait for the email and reply in that email. That is very common. CO may not be very technical to understand your education/work experience related to TAL (cybersecurity, may be AI is also added recently). May be they forwarded your resume to DC office for clearance. Asking for resume is something that was introduced in 2016/2017 or may be earlier. The visa has annotation like "Clearance received on <date>" . Hoping your case will be resolved quickly as they did not ask for DS-5535

    @tas005 Any update on your visa?
  16. Leo The Great
    Your educational background or work experience may be in TAL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_Alert_List#:~:text=The Technology Alert List (TAL,nontransfer of U.S.-held technologies.) that is why were flagged by system and consulate requested Resume from you. Not sure about your consulate but Montreal consulate takes few months to year to clear the AP cases https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jV7rzX2eCRVoEDRhOtN9a6hDoHRLNEf1P3ZGZbQ0_Dc/edit#gid=0

    Looks like filing WOM was the only way for you to get out of AP after waiting more than a year. Options for filing WOM are limited now as a lot of WOMs are being dismissed after June.
  18. Leo The Great
    This old sheet is not updated. Some people are already cleared from AP like ice-qube (via WOM after 13 months), BatmanFlow etc.
  19. Leo The Great
    CR1/IR1 and other visa type data is still there. Looks like members are filtering the spreadsheet on Visa Type (K1) and not reverting back to "select all" once done.
  20. Leo The Great
    Dismissal of WOMs this year may also be a contributing factor in term of clearance stats.

    Re: Dr Lyndon Mascarenhas - When you send an email for appointment after registration, doctor office will ask you to take digital photo from your mobile phone camera and email them. No need for 5 photographs as mentioned on the website.

    @ALC May be your first clearance for B1/B2 was done within 48 months of 2nd DS-5535, According to SOA Wikipedia, SOA is valid up to 48 months Thanks
