Hi Everyone, My mother’s case has been stuck in administrative processing since December 2023. On the day of her interview, she was asked to complete the DS-5535, which we submitted the same day. Since then, there has been no movement on her case, so I filed a Writ of Mandamus (WoM) last month. After filing, the CEAC status changed multiple times — one of which status change to “Expiring Soon,” then back to “Refused.” Now, my mother just received an email asking her to complete the DS-5535 again. Has anyone else been asked to fill out the DS-5535 a second time? Thanks in advance!

I filed WoM last week for my mother's case, 19 months after being in AP. I have a few questions: Should I ask my congressman's office to contact the embassy and let them know that we filed a WoM to get more traction on the Case? I should just wait for the next couple of months. How likely is a US attorney will file a motion to dismiss? How soon will I get a decision on the case? What are the odds of being denied vs approved? Thanks!!

I submitted all required documents except the police report. They did not ask for it. but on NVC site it says documents still missing.

How do I find out? Will the Embassy let me know? The slip my mother got after the interview was a generic message.

Quick question, My mother's case has been stuck in administrative processing for 8 months. Her case was originally in Jerusalem but was transferred to Cairo and she did the interview in Cairo back in December. One major requirement of the Jerusalem embassy is to submit a police report. but I could not get one. Now, I have the opportunity to get the police report. But it has to be done via a lawyer and he is expensive. Would the police report help resolve the AP?

I am in a similar situation. Was your husband's visa got approved?

From Jerusalem to Cairo. What are the criteria of an emergency they might accept?

Hi There, I am new to this forum. My mother is facing the same issue. Her I-130 was approved early Oct. Then for humanitarian reasons we requested a case transfer to another embassy and expedited the interview request. Fortunately, both requests were approved and she attended her interview in early December. But her case went to AP and I got an email to fill out DS-5535. We filled out and submitted the form the same day. The case has been updated a few times since the interview. My congressman's office said they could reach out after three weeks of the interview. Can DOS take into consideration humanitarian causes and expedite the AP process? The Embassy team told me there is no timeline to resolve AP but they have been responsive to me so far regarding all my requests. Thanks!
