SabrinaJerome when did your husband submitted the DS 5535 form?

He was asked at his interview to answer social media/email questions, and was not given the (expired! lol) form...

Hi guys... I read about this a bit after we were given the social media questions. Opinions (lawyers and lay people) were mixed at that time but I'm wondering if NOW, anyone from "our countries" and backgrounds, should just assume that they will be "extra vetted"...  so I guess the question is, what percentage of people from "our countries" are being asked? And, if you give them the DS5535 information earlier, and they weren't planning on asking you, would it delay your process??

Who knows...

Also, there's just the point of civil liberties, privacy, and all that... but I suppose we have no choice at this point. If the gov't asks us for something, and we want what they have... ya just say yes. 

I would suggest researching it a bit, or consulting with a lawyer. Also,you could search using the term "pre-load".

Yes, a new chapter will start! We worked so hard to get this, like so many, many others. I hope for the best for everyone, and will continue getting notifications about this thread.

Yes I was thinking to ask an attorney instead.

I have a question for you guys. Has anyone been asked to give the DS-5535 in word format? Meaning that you have to copy and past the question and than answer them. Not on the form. 

 

Thats what my husband was asked. We were sent the form via email but asked to respond in word format

My husband was only asked to email back the answers, no specific format

Hey everyone, 

My fiancé had an interview in April 26 and she was asked to email ds-5355 form to the counselor. We had only one update in June 1st. She is from Iraq and she is applying from Lebanon. Is Iraq from the bam countries?? Are there people like us from Lebanon facing the same difficulties and is there any solution for this big problem??? Sorry for the too many questions but we are just like became addicted for checking the email and the website for any update. 

Thanks in advance
