Hello, does anyone know how can I download the form DS-5535? Didn’t have my interview yet, just preparing if the consular does ask me

Most people are given the form at the interview and some are emailed the form. If this is a permanent form they are going to implement, I feel this should be done in the initial stages, but who am I? Maybe they will start making it apart of the initial stages

Thank you! Basically the form that they give you is basically the same exact thing that you just showed me?

hello ladies and gents... any updates or visa approvals??

[APDS5535 1]

Hello, I had my interview on August 11 and was advised that further investigation is required (AP), so I was handed a Pink slip and my Passport was kept at the Consulate in Frankfurt. Later on the same day, I received the DS-5535 as an email which in return I submitted on August 16th in the body of the email. I then received a reply stating that it will be "forward for appropriate action".

 

It is now 51 days since my interview and I have not received a single update, since August 11. I studied in the US from 2008-2014 on an F1 and have been visiting the US for the past 3 years for multiple vacations through the visa waiver program. 

 

For everyone, here I hope we all get good news soon as I know how depressing it can be!

Even though I’ve seen some that has not traveled receive the form, the majority of people that are are ones that has traveled outside of their country. This is good to know. I hope everyone receives their visa soon as well...

I think this form is here for a while, BUT I think it will be apart of initial applications. A lot wrote in about this form, I was one and I don’t think the form is bad, but it has awful timing. After months to getting to the interview stage...no one should have to wait because of a form. Deny or approve should be the only thing you hear

I have good news to share with you guys,

 

My wife's interview was on 27th of July and she was handed the DS-5535 form at the end of interview.

Today they called her to bring her passport in to stamp the visa

Good luck to all of you
