Congratulations @Ousaw!!!

 

I have just been asked for my new medical, police certificates, passport, new photos and an 'updated DS-260'

I see you were inquiring on how to update your DS-260 a while back. Can you or anyone here share how to update it? Am not sure if the new form has significant changes but I assume we can update that ourselves without our lawyer?  He's asking for more $$ to fill the form (out of which most of it will be the same information). Main changes that have occurred since re-oath interview is a new passport and new-born.

Would appreciate any help on this. Thank you.

Reading through this thread had me terrified that this process was going to be a black hole that would take months. So I just wanted to come back and update that after 7 weeks, our DS 5535 process is

Thanks @Ousaw, I was able to access it and they had 're-opened' the form for me to update. I believe I had accessed this for my 2nd interview to review it before submitting. 

Upon quick glance, it seems they are basically incorporating the DS-5535 in the new DS-260 form.

 

I had my 2nd interview (re-oath) last year (April 2019) after which they gave me the DS-5535 (though I was told everything was good and the CO gave me the Welcome letter but also said theres some things she still needs to check...next day I got the 5535 by email). Now that they have asked for the medical, police cert, photos,passport & revised 260, I hope this is a good sign than  just a information collection request?

same happend to me. now 1 year already passed with no single update.

They have literally discarded my will to study and whatever comes after it for this, I don't know why they do this kind of things to people that, like me, only come for studying a certain amount of months and then leave, doesn't make any sense

I have been told they would send my passport back without the visa and the process will continue since there's not a clear end date, I guess this is not a good sign? 

Did you request to have your passport returned? It delayed my husband getting his visa for over a year. Sorry to say...

No I didn't! In fact I asked them to keep it and they answered they had to return it 

Not sure what to tell you. My husband had his first interview in February 2018 and had to request his passport back in June 2018 for work. We ended up having a second interview in February 2019 that led to me getting in touch with my congressman and several other email to the embassy. He finally got the notice to send his passport back in to the embassy in May 2019. He was given a photo copy of the DS-5535 on the day of his first interview. We submitted it back in that same day.

It's ridiculous, I'm in a J1 that starts the 27th and ends on May, idk how they dare to make me wait further than the start of my J1, it doesn't make any sense, it's like they are trying so hard not to let you study there!

No, he's saying they finally asked for his passport 8 months ago (in May). According to @tiyyo 's timeline, he received the visa in August 2019.

Yes, he got the visa in August 2019 and arrived here in October 2019! Best part about it is that he has his 10 year green card so we are doing great!

Thanks for looking at our timeline!
