my husband was given this form n we filled it out n submitted it within one of recieving the email. our passport was sent back with green slip 221g n only AP was check marked. how long will it take? my husband was already approved then why no stamping now. we were told to send the passport with medical for stamping but returned our passport without stamping.

I don’t know too much about the green slips, but has he ever visited the US before? If not, what country is he from?

So, was it approved before submitting the ds-5535 or after you submitted the form ds-5535? I’m confused because you stated the told him to bring the passport and usually that happens when they are issuing the visa. If they didn’t put the visa in, y’all need to call the embassy and ask why he didn’t receive the visa to enter into the states.

in january they were keeping his passport for stamping but we asked for hold of one year. so the officer said that they will hold his visa for one year n if my husband send the passport after june then he will need to submit new medical. before june he will need to send in only passport for stamping. so after my delivery this month we decided to send the passport with the medical but they returned the passport with the medical n with green slip 221g only AP check marked on it. Also the same day they recieve my husband's passport the returned it the same day n sentds 5535 form as well which i submitted it within one hr.

It sounds like you were approved but since the visa was on hold and a new vetting has come into affect during your hold period now they want you to complete the 5535. I would complete it and have my Congress person follow up on that situation.
