So far, no movement.

 

My husband (Pakistan, IR-1) is still waiting since Nov 6, 2023, DS-5535 plus supplemental docs. Almost 10.5 months.

 

I have talked to another applicant regarding those who were born in the List of 26 Countries with a similar situation (technology background), and those F-1s have been waiting 1.5-2.5 years for AP. I am not hopeful that the 1 year mark for waiting is accurate.

 

On our WhatsApp group for Pakistan AP, another petitioner's parents (IR-5, DS-5535) got a medical request, so that's good news. They had interview on the same day as my husband. So they got medical request about 10 months after submitting DS-5535.

Hello . Any update on your case ? You are almost 1 years in AP.  I am hopeful you are clear now. Please do shear , this will help a lot to understand Islamabad embassy.

Hello all , 

I've completed 9 months in AP under DS-5535 few days ago , sent embassy email and as usual no response so far . 

But I have a good news to share , Someone I know from my city got Ds-5535 in first weak of Jan 2024  received email for medical and submitting passport on 8th of Nov 2024. His category was IR-2. 

So that is very encouraging news . I do appeal people from Pakistan reading this post, please , do share your experience of AP especially Ds-5535 so other people can learn and have some hope.

Finger crossed , I am praying that, they start clearing  Feb-2024 start soon.
