I think in Pakistan nowadays everyone is going through the same experience of DS- 5535, what about his passport status?  two weeks ago my passport status was: your passport is still with the us embassy/consulate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Now it shows: no status update available for the passport number submitted

I got an auto response from the mailbox stating it was intended for those who were asked to provide information only later I got a response from an inquiry I made confirming they in fact received it just to make sure.
