If you are in the US try +1 (202) 663-1225

Or +1 (202) 647-4000 and an additional number +1 (202) 485-7600. talk to them DOS 

 if you call these numbers from outside the US you will be forwarded to NVC and normally they don’t tell you something that you don’t know already, try and let me know 

Thanks. I had the US numbers at one point but couldn't find them again.

Those of you who received DS-5535 how many days after the interview did you receive it?  And was it called a Ds-5535 or was it just a simple email?  How did you submit back to the embassy?

 

We were told at our interview today that our case needed more administrative processing and we would be receiving a questionnaire which I'm assuming is the ds-5535 but  have not yet received it.

My husband's interview was 7/17/18 ,received email following next day with ds5535 attached (questtionaire)sent back next day ,7/18/2018 ,he submitted it back with email given by CO, the CO did send a confirmation email back saying received and everything thing was in order! Have several updates but still in AP

 Hi I must say that congressional inquiry is the only way we can count on. Some Senator's offices are really nice. Once the inquiry is made it sometimes have quite an effect, not decisive though.

Yes I agree , my assistance from the senators office inquiries are every 25 days AND COUNTING!!!

Hello, Shazyyo and @Sarac9  I would suggest considering @aqz17 experience and send an email to the Chief of immigration visa dep at the embassy you had your interview, explain the hardship you are facing due to the delay of being apart for more than 5 years, etc.... I believe at least they will send to the US asking for an update and this may move along the process and you may get positive feedback, don't just wait and being frustrated DO something. You have nothing to lose.

 

Thank you @SabrinaJerome you raised this question and Thank you @aqz17 for sharing your experience.  I have just recently tried the same approach, and it seems you are correct, monitoring any update during the forthcoming weeks if no update, then I will do it over again.  Good luck all.

 

I agree ,,as the petitioner ,I do send a email every 2 weeks ,and my senator inquiries every 25 days, I believe everyone awaiting in AP should inquire to let them know we are waiting for our loved ones and its very hard not to see updates,and changes ,this is our life ,our future ,respectfully we are just inquiring! So everyone keep hope and I'm praying for everyone that's waiting ,,DAILY!

So after almost 13 months of zero progress since her interview, my fiancee was contacted 2 days ago to get updated medical, my 1040 for 2017, and a few other forms to update since everything at this point was old. Insha'allah that's good news.

Good news indeed, it seems things will move along, did u esablish any communication with them recently, and this has caused the move?
