  1. He was so upset ,, This is not the first time I saw young persons under 15 getting Ds-5535,, This system is brook. If I am not wrong on this forum I saw a case where one daughter and father got Ds-5535 and rest of the family got visas. Students applying for first time as young as 18 years old getting Ds-5535 .
  2. Hello everyone, I am here again from Pakistan , letting you all know what is happening on other side of the world. Today marks completion of 3 months me waiting in AP under DS-5535 , Sent embassy email 1 months ago(after 60 days in AP) still got no answer , Not even a single change in last status update date on CEAC portal. This whole thing is getting so stressful . I have a funny/sad/horrible thing to tell you , In one of WhatsApp group one person from Pakistan told that his whole family went for interview , everything went well and all got cleared , 2 days later he got email and find out his 12 years old son is now in AP under DS-5535. Poor guy was so worried and so pissed , now he have to leave his 12 years old son and need to travel with rest of his family. This whole system is broke ...........
  3. Today 6th of April mark 2 months since my case is in AP(Ds-5535) , I don't have any case last update yet on CEAC . I am going to email Islamabad embassy (Pakistan) and will ask them is going on , lets see what they answer "If they answer". I have also not receive any conformation email from them about my Ds-5535(If they received it or not and was it up to the standards and correct) . I waited 3 years for my interview (yes for interview) and my category is IR-1......In short this whole system under Ds-5535 is broken and pure cruelty on us Humans. Especially when millions of people illegally cross into US every year.
  4. This is so frustrated ...... I live in a village , so I have society pressure equals Mount Everest on me....Let me tell you all a story , 2 brothers from my area(3 villages apart) entered US illegally in 2019 and they both visited Pakistan in last few months (with Green card ) Yes illegal got the documents in 4 years and I am waiting for my Ds-5535 , waited 3 years for interview , There father was one of the guest in my wedding in 2016 ..... Come on man........ This is just too much . .. People reading this post with village background (especially India Pakistan) can understand what this means for me and my family. I fully agree with you , people applying throw legal channels are being affected the most. I waited almost 8 years just to get a visa under Ir-1 category . ........
  5. Tomorrow 5th April will be 2 months since my case is in AP(Ds-5535) , I don't have any case last update yet on CEAC . I am going to email Islamabad embassy (Pakistan) and will ask them politely what ****** is going on . I have also not receive any conformation email from them about my Ds-5535(If they received it or not and was it up to the standards and correct) . I waited 3 years for my interview (yes for interview) and my category is IR-1......In short this whole Ds-5535 thing is ******, especially when millions of people illegally cross into US every year. Whole thing started in 2016 and Still going on , And my category is IR-1 ............ 7 years 8 months already passed .......
  6. Tomorrow 5th April will be 2 months since my case is in AP(Ds-5535) , I don't have any last case update date yet on CEAC and I am getting panic about this no case status update . I am going to email Islamabad embassy (Pakistan) and I will ask them politely what <DELETED> is going on . I have also not receive any conformation email from them about my Ds-5535(If they received it and was it up to the standards and correct) . I waited 3 years for my interview (yes for interview) and my category is IR-1......In short this whole Ds-5535 thing is <DELETED> , especially when millions of people illegally cross into US every year.
  7. If you don't mind telling your lawyer name and cost of the wom. Thanks a lot
  8. Well, I can only say this Vo/Co power of Ap under Ds-5535 is unfair , They have to end this brutality .... I can understand Ds-5535 because of "System" alert but not for Vo/Co thinks you deserve AP under Ds-5535..... Vo/Co can issue AP (without Ds-5535) if they need time at embassy/consulate level.
  9. If what you said have any truth in it ( Co/VO personally putting people in Ds-5535 misery) then this genocide of relationships , emotions , health , money and time need to stop now. This is just cruelty to put someone on months hold because You(Vo/Co) want to enjoy his/her pain...
  10. Congratulation sir , This is great to know that misery of waiting under Ds-5535 in finally ending for you. Look like movement , good to know They starts clearing Feb 2023. Also if you kindly tell us the date of your interview that will help .
  11. I can tell you about Pakistan , In last 2 months (which I spent online on different forums , websites and in different WhatsApp groups) according to information I collected since Jan - 2023 people who got Ds-5535 only 10% to 15% got clear and got visa ( almost 85% to 90% are waiting ) , Only encouraging thing is that 98% of cases from 2022 and before are cleared. Only 2 % are stuck In Ds-5535 for more then 18 months(God knows why) in Pakistan. This is my guess based on people with Ds-5535 online , I don't know how many applicant with Ds-5535 never made it online to any forum or any group. So this means things are moving very slow , actually extremely slow , Why ? I have no idea.
  12. I have no idea how they work , but On my interview day I saw them issuing AP (to male and female) , how many of them got Ds-5535 I don't know. But I do know couple of Vo/Co are especially trigger-happy for AP (under Ds-5535 or any reason) . In a WhatsApp group I came across few female and male applicant all in immigrant category (IR1 , F21 , F4 , K1) with no travel history (never left Pakistan) got Ds-5535 , some cleared in 4 months some are waiting even after 1+ year , WoM didn't work any of them. Majority of people in that group is male , Muslims with and without travel history. So far I haven't come across any Pakistani who got WoM worked in his Favour.
  13. Write an email , but I am sure "they" already knew about your previous security check (which I assume you cleared) , but still write them. Who knows what VO/CO thinks of you and again put you on Ds-5535 ....... As we discussed in last few posts this whole system is(removed) Some how I think this will take less time (if you haven't traveled to other countries especially those famous 7 + 27 countries and your stay is not over 1 year ). Hope for the best.
  14. Same here , This whole thing is so painful and time consuming. I waited 3 years just for interview date , Now in AP under Ds-5535 , Only stayed in on European country (I provided the Police clearance certificate from that country) , Nothing wrong with my spouse or mine documents , never applied for US visa , never entered US before , never deported , no criminal record in my country In last 10 years I worked 7 years (2 years taken by covid) , even my name is not that religious , Only reason My mind can come across is I am male , Muslim from Muslim majority country. Thats it. My wife is sick and doctors still not able to know why she is sick , she is on medicine , Now she and I and our 3 years old son somehow have to go throw this mental torture of Ds-5535 , and WoM and money spent on WoM and not the pain and mental stress WoM process brings with it. Lol I had almost 9 years on my passport expiry , Now I have to renew my passport , this is how long this whole procedure already took for me and still no end in the eys................
  15. I am afraid None , Only USA treat legally applying immigrants as . I am sorry but this is the reality........Some people here on this any other forums very easily says "if it is taking time or you are in Ap call your spouse to your home country and live together" Now these people don't understand when NVC/VO/CO ask for latest Tax returns as proof of income then what will you show? This behavior hurts even more. Will US system allow spouse to live together until many years long visa process completion and skip this income requirement ? Answer is a big fat NO , they will not allow that and issue AP under missing document ........ So overall USA spouse Visa process is the most unorganized ,confused , problematic and anti-legal immigrants visa process in many ways .. Ap under Ds-5535 (where all the documents are ok and accepted but still VO/CO and system doesn't like you and refused to issue visa and then run away taking any responsibility ) is the prime example of this f**d up system. Imagin pain families going throw waiting for Ds-5535 , Only crime , the person might have some travel history , belongs to a religion and from 27 countries or have any link with those countries . Never entered USA , No crime record in USA , no crime record in other parts of the world , but still in Ds-5535 and waiting for many , many months to even years. Ok I understand US need to do so called security check I am fine with it , then why not speed up the system and give priority to spouse visa applicants whom already waiting from many years and simplifies additional security checks for them .
  16. Exactly, This is so funny how they are running away from 221g under Ds-5535 , especially when all the required documents are provided and accepted by them and they have no objection on the documents , they just ask some extra security questions not related with visa directly under Ds-5535(Extra extreme vetting aka there own love ride which they just give whom ever they want to give and play with the future of applicant and the family), Even on there website this is mentioned that "visa is refused under 221g and if the counselor ask you any further information please provide (in some cases missing documents in other only ds-5535)". A person who never entered USA before , never applied for USA visa before and a person who have no control on how USA security system works or what VO/CO thinks about his/her personality is not responsible for AP - DS-5535 especially if all the required documents are not only provided but also these documents are authentic and got accepted by USA . In rest of the world , If your spouse is calling you then its your spouse who is responsible for finances (that's why and when Tax returns , bank statements etc come in play ) It doesn't matter you are rich or live on the road , if you have all the required documents and you are not a security threat then its all OK. But in USA we have AP under Ds-5535 , when all the documents are ok and "they" don't ask/required for any other document but System or VO/CO puts you under extra vetting just for fun and then run away from responsibility... This is like , VO/CO : Hey I will not issue you a visa under 221g go and fill the form Ds-5535 , Poor Applicant : Sir is there any thing wrong with my documents ? VO/CO : No there is nothing wrong with the documents , its just I and my system don't like you , and we are "refusing" you your visa and will keep you in long waiting list , and when you will go to court then we will tell court we "Denied" you visa because it is you who is not able to clear our extra vetting on which we put you on the day of your interview .............. lol this whole thing is turning into big joke
  17. This AP (Ds-5535) wait is emotionally hard and difficult , in one word this is "cruelty" , How hard it is for USA to conduct security check on a person in USA especially if the person never entered USA before(means no record whatsoever)! How hard it is for USA to ask other countries (first world countries) for the security clearance of the applicant(keep in mind applicant have already provided police report). What is the progress on WoM ?
  18. 1 month 5 days past since my interview and me in AP(Ds-5535 , I uploaded my form same day of my interview) , so far I don't have any change in last case update date on ceac website , not receive any email from embassy for any other action. Heartbroken and stressful time .
  19. I don't know if this info help any body in future who is reading this , I came across 2 AP(ds-5535) cases in Pakistan (Islamabad embassy) , both mail and both got Ds-5535 (yellow slip) on interview date , so here is the short summery. Case 1. Category IR-1 , Male from Pakistan , Never visited any country , family business(normal) , I am not typing his full name , but one main part of his name is Osama , According to him interview went good but in the end of the interview he got yellow slip and passport return , It took full 4 months to clear AP and he got his Visa in 2nd week of 5th month.(My guess just because of one part of his name this poor Pakistani male Muslim guy who never left Pakistan spent 4.5months in AP). Case2. Category IR-1 , Male from Pakistan , well-off family , interview went well , got yellow slip (Ds-5535)in the end. He visited many countries , especially Iran and KSA many times(religous purpose ) , Also with heavy Muslim name (just like case 1 name problem also there), His case is still in AP after 1 year and 5 months. So readers , there is no way to predicate when your AP will end (but one can guess the reason why his/her case is in AP) , this all depend on your luck , Visa officer and the queue at any security check where your case file will go..
  20. Hello everyone, One whole long month is gone but I still don't have any last date update on my ceac and I also didn't receive any email from embassy . How the hell I spouse to know if My ds-5535(which I filled online and submitted online) is accepted and as per embassy requirements ??? What should I do know ? And please can any one give me email address for Islamabad US embassy (immigration visa help line) . So I can email them.
  21. Hello there , How are you , Any update on your case ? On my case 20 days gone , Still no reply(last date is still same interview date on ceac , which worries me now ). Oh that's a great news , , This post of yours not only gives hope but also make my research online on Ds-5535 even more clear now(atleast for me),, This 5 months AP clearing case means, fewer checks and one security check after the other( this means all the security checks not started simultaneously to safe time). So the person from future who is reading this and in Ds-5535 AP for immigrant visa , so far you already know that anything can trigger Ds-5535. But don't worry and keep reading. There a 3 to 4 main security checks if you have travel history but never visited USA and you are not from 7 banned countries(and don't have any connections)if you are from those 7 countries then don't worry their are 5 to 6 security checks , keep in mind if you don't have troubled past (let me say it "if you are not a security threat") then each security check will take about 40 to 50 days to clear (3*50=150 days = 5 months). Some times if you are out of luck then your 1 normal security check can trigger/start 1 extra extensive security check or your file just go into waiting list for some superior officer to sign and clear at that security check. This will cause extra time delay and that time will add into your overall AP waiting time.. Don't forget to add 1 month for your embassy or consulate if you get your AP clear before your medical expiry date(if your medical expire then this will take 4 to 6 weeks).
