Update: Daughter's finger printing and oaths done. However they have returned the passports unstamped saying that they cannot retain the passports beyond a certain time. The officer said that there is only one step left and that the approval needs to come from Washington. When asked about a timeline, the person said "Washington is a mystery to us". Asked us to sign up for a courier service. Very disappointing. Any thoughts?

Thanks. Your response is very encouraging.

The Embassy has now asked my younger daughter to come in for "finger prints" and "oaths" at the Embassy. Does anyone know what this is about?
-
Thank you for your response.
-
Thank you. The status has remained unchanged- says refused with the statement about administrative processing. Is there any limit on how long the Embassy can keep the passports? My daughter was supposed to start College in the States today.... and now she is thinking of going to Canada instead where she applied as a back up. Would it be alright to retrieve her passport at this stage? Would that affect our case?

We had our medicals in June. The US Embassy has had the passports since late June. As mentioned earlier two of us had DS5535s sent out on July 20th which were filled out and submitted on July 21st. CEAC reopened our DS 260s which were completed by us. Updates on CEAC track passport showed up on July 31st, August 2nd, August 9th, August 10th and August 11th (LUD). Is there any chance we would get our visas this month?
-
The CEAC portal says "Incomplete" for two of us and "reopened" for two of us. No email or instructions received. Should we be worried?
-
Got it. Thanks.
-
Thank you. That is very interesting. Might just file pro se.

So we are obviously not based in the US at the moment. I am assuming that the writ/lawsuit has to be filed by the primary applicant through a lawyer or will the sponsor file such a case? Any ideas on how much this would cost?
-
As a barrister I love the writ of mandamus. But any ideas if such an action can prejudice our case?

More on this. My daughter (18) starts college in the US in the fall. But unless this immigration thing gets sorted, she can't get a student visa either (immigration intent). Is there anything that can be done to speed up the process just for her?
-
Thank you. Any ideas how the DS5535 is processed? Is it the State Department? If so, what can one do to expedite it, if at all.

We are Pakistani citizens and have a family application for F4 visa. The case is with the US Embassy in Islamabad. My wife (the primary applicant, age 42) and one of my daughters (age 17) have been asked to fill in DS5535 (this was on July 20th 2023). Neither I nor my other daughter (age 18) were asked to fill them out. We filled the forms for the wife and the daughter and sent them out on July 21 2023. The passport status (via email) says "no status available" (since July 22 2023). The US Travel Docs website shows no delivery information. Any ideas on how long the wait can be, because I have job interviews lined up in Cambridge in October. When can we expect our visas to come through?
