Hi guys, I have a question. I sent an inquiry today and 3 hours later the last update date changed. I didnt get any reply back. Do you think it's because I sent an inquiry? Does this happen when the date changes but you get no reply?

Hello everybody,

I applied on September 20th in Casablanca for a B1 Visa in order to be in October in the USA. But the officier said to me that he will send me an e-mail with the form DS5535. I got it at the same day. on September 21st I sent it back. still now there is no update for my case (while another applicant who got the form at the same day as me, got an update on 21st).

1) are the B1 types  threated as an immigrant visas or is there a chance to be speeded up ?

2) I read about cases with DS 5535 who have been approved after less than 2 weeks, but they were not in Casablanca. I don't know if in casablanca is any chance or if someone got approved in such time or not ?

3) I travel a lot across Europe, can that be seen as a positive point to speed my case ?

thank you

Hi Meriem,

 

I have applied for a B1/B2 visa as well and had my interview last year in September: from what I read in this lengthy thread I strongly believe that when it comes to AP the visa type has no significance, your main nationality/passport/country of origin does.

 

Regarding the last point you asked, as a Moroccan who lives in Europe I tend to believe that residing or even just travelling to Europe, to certain European countries in particular, is not going to help in anyway. Long travel histories may  create longer processing if not just some suspicion. I came to realize that unfortunately for us Moroccans there seems to be a fairly harsh treatment when it comes to US visas.

 

Hopefully you will get your visa soon.

Hello everyone,

 

I'm a resident in France and applied for a tourist visa. After the initial interview, I have received a request to fill out form DS 5535 in which I have provided more information about my travel history, work history, social media.. 

 

A week after, I have received a call to go to a follow-up interview. I was asked to provide more details about my travel destinations. I have an extensive travel history for leisure/tourism. Countries I have visited include: Germany, Italy, Malta, Hungary, Austria, Iran, Serbia, Qatar and Syria (prior to 2010).

 

My case is currently under Administrative Processing.

 

Did anyone  go through a similar process? If so, how long did it take to get a decision?

HI Shazyyo.. I am still in AP since 7th February coz my son got ds5535.. But two of my sisters got visas, one is in US for amonth and the other will go in November.. My sister was asked for new joint sponsor which she could arrange in the end of August, after submitting new AOS she got a call for medical in a week and all this process took less than a month.
