Yeah I had my updated resume with me during the interview. The officer reviewed it and asked some questions, and then gave it back and asked me to submit my softcopy resume via email so he could send for AP.

So, I completed my interview yesterday (Jan 10, 2025) and as expected, I am not put in the Administrative Processing (perhaps due to both country of birth and field of work). The whole process took 2.5 hours from start to finish. Everyone was nice. The status shows "refused" now and I was asked to email my resume, list of publications, etc. (I have already completed the form DS-5535, which was sent to me along with my interview letter). Once they receive my email with resume, they will go ahead and submit the entire package for Administrative Processing. Then the endless wait begins Where is the AP timeline sheet so I can update my timeline? I hope to be able to see how long everyone's AP has taken. Good luck to you all!

oh wow, thank you! I thought it would be in the 2-3k range!

Hi all, For those of you who were put in Administrative Processing and were asked to send your resume after the interview: what email address were you asked to send your resume to? Thanks all!
-
What was the approximate cost, all in, for importing and registration?
-
I got the same email, but addressed to my spouse (not the main applicant). It is Dear lastname firstname. It should not matter in my opinion. They seem to have been sending these to one of the family members (chosen randomly?)

You may want to check with your kid's doctor/ pediatrician. They may have the vaccine to administer.
-
All I had seen, before my own case, was that they would send it during or right after the interview. That is all I had heard from others. Now, fast forward to my own interview, I received the link to the form in the same email as my interview letter. Which is technically over 1.5 months before the interview date! Someone else also confirmed they received the link to the DS5535 in the same email (at the time of interview letter).

What category of visa are you in? You should not need to upload anything. This is most probably referring to the NVC package for those who uploaded documents. Just print all docs and bring to the interview session. What category of visa are you in? You should not need to upload anything.

Unfortunately I'm not sure. Everything depends on the officer on the day of. For some people, who had done the medicals, their results weren't sent by the doctor before the interview date, so the officer had told them we would need to wait for the medicals before we can issue a visa. It's just messy and not worth the risk in my opinion.
-
I believe you won't be able to attend the interview without the medical results. You will be turned away.
-
Good point. The point is some folks will get AP'd almost for sure. How long it takes is a matter of wait and see. I just wanted the original poster to know that they will most probably have to consider few more months of wait... hopefully short...
-
I think so too. That is probably just before it changes to "issued". I believe it means someone is actively working on it.

Quick piece of information: for those with Iran as country of eligibility, you would most probably be put in Administrative Processing (additional background checks), which may take between 3 to 18 months. Just a heads-up to consider this in your plans.
-
That's brutal! You never know what's going on...
-
1- I wish I had more accurate information, but all I can say is your timeline is a bit tight. You may have your passport back, but who knows how long they may take. 2- I don't see why not. 3- I also want to know the answer to this!
-
Yes, I submitted it but only for myself, and not for my spouse. I'm gonna let them ask for it during the interview if they want to
-
I would take with me anything I possibly can (and of course organized). You never know what the officer may ask for.
-
I have not, yet. Will look at it over the weekend.
-
nope
-
Yeah, I would not ask for it. This seems to me clearly to be DS-5535 since it is mentioned at the bottom of the form. It might have to do with my country of chargeability ...
-
Update: I emailed them about the date confusion and within 15 minutes, they sent me the exact same email I got in the morning, but now with the correct date (Jan 10, 2025). The link to the DS-5535 form is still in there, so I guess I will go ahead and fill it out.
-
OK, thank you. I hope doing it now will avoid delays after the interview...
