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.

Hello everyone, 

Friend of mine who received re-medical email , had every thing done as per instructions, and on 19th of November embassy received everything asked for. Since then he had 2 unsolicited ceac date change but his case status is still refused. My question is, Is it normal ?  

He is so worried (so am I), I will keep you all updating about his and mine case so people "especially from Pakistan" can read this and have some knowledge and help. He almost completed 10 months(3 days short) in AP (DS-5535) before re-medical and passport email.

I am soon going to complete my 10th month (in 10 days) , My hopes are high, please pray for me and all other stuck in this misery. I will keep you all updated . If you have any update about your case or someone you know please don't be afraid to share with us. 

Thank you all.
