What's the source of this news that embassy is open and working on spouse visas... like IDK, I am getting really frustrated with this WAITING news.... My brother in law was issued his K1 visa in 8 months back in 2017! 😕 But, now... this spouse visa is TAKING SO MUCH TIME.

I’m right there with you! After being in AP from a little over a year I can understand your frustration things obviously still aren’t over for us! The passport the embassy has, they’ve required a second medical and fingerprints and oath but yet he hasn’t gotten the passport back to renew and of course you can’t get a medical done without a valid passport and he’s scheduled next week and the embassy is HORRIBLE with responding and we’re stuck he go or not

@F&S2018 have you explained your situation to the medical clinic?  Maybe they would still do the medical if you have something from the embassy requesting it, even without the passport.  I completely understand your frustration with the embassy, they don't respond to us either.  I would definitely still attend the embassy appointment regardless.  It might be the only way to actually talk to them.

Ugh! I’ve sent 3 inquires since last Thursday and Friday! It’s been almost one whole week and nothing, the medical clinic was nice enough to send an inquiry to them also on our behalf to see if they can even send a letter for the medical but nope nothing at all, now I’m just thinking it might be a good idea to attend after 1 year of nothing and now we finally get somewhere and I don’t want to this opportunity

No idea! The embassy didn’t request any documents they kept passport overall the interview went “good” I guess they did say we would receive an email which we would need to send back,  the email was the ds5535 form.

Ohh yeah, people who are sent that questionnaire after their interview are usually kept in AP for a year at least. The same thing happened with my friend. She was kept in AP for a year. She was issued her Visa in Feb 2020 and is in the US now. InshAllah your husband will get it too. Do ask him to attend the interview. That's your only chance to explain the situation regarding your medical to the embassy. Also, please let us know how it went.

He did attend. It went well. Embassy was empty though not many people. They did say there’s a lot of work load and not many people working somewhat remotely working also. They were understanding of the situation they gave him a letter for getting medical done and gave passport to him and told him to get a new passport and medical and send it to them through courier service.

Yes inshAllah! I’m not sure how much longer it will be my husband did pass a comment and said I’m just wishing we’re not stuck another almost 2 years again lol and they said oh no don’t worry we’ll try to get this done for you once we receive your passport and second medical.

Did he have to bring any documents?  I.e. new affidavit of support and civil dics?

Nope they didn’t ask for anything at the second interview.

Same situation here. We were stuck in AP for almost 18 months. I rcvd an email saying our case is out of AP, but we need to wait for further processing. I dont know when to expect a call from embassy. They are not even replying to inquiries after that last email. How long they will take? Any idea anyone?

My husband’s case has been in AP for a year and 3 months. We got email for oath and fingerprints and are told to bring a new medical. 

They are open, I think working on family/spouses cases. I’ve heard they’ve been clearing out a lot of older cases. 

Did you file for writ of mandamus or wrote to congressman or senator or you just waited patiently for the second medical...?
