I am worrying about this COVID SITUATION AGAIN and the 6 months medical exams expiration.

Oh yes exactly--did I mention my medical expires in March? And then when that happens, and I have not been taken out of AP yet, then what?

Amen to that. When they do it right, they rightly should get praise.   Coincidentally, I saw a “last updated on” change to May 4. Wonder what that’s about? Hopefully good news coming sometim

So folks,   Thought I should share some news to bring some ray of hope back to this group.   Finally, our visas have been issued as per CEAC system. It seems that they are still un

If you are out of the AP after the medical expires a new one will be required and basically it’s like you are in AP again.

Yep I am pretty certain that is true, because then some bureaucrat in the back end has to go process that--and that means into another queue, another pile of files waiting for some nameless person to go look at.

BTW, I have not a single clue of why I am even in AP and getting "extreme vetted" in the first place. NONE. Not a single thing I have done is shady and I have no connections to any countries of concern. Born and raised here. No criminal records or arrests. Married to my wife for near to 8 years already. It's b.s.

It’s the same for me except you been married for a long period than me but there is not way to know, I truly believe it’s an algorithm than weight some factors and generate the warning because my interview was smooth and I am almost sure the officer wasn’t who required the form. But we will never know, we have to stop worrying about what generated the flagging if we have nothing to fear, that won’t solve anything either way so don’t worry about that just let’s hope we get an answer ASAP.

it is amazing, even your mom is ahead of me. How is it that I am 2.5+ years to get a visa for moving to US as a spouse? I can’t believe. I hope your mom is approved soon.

I have to admit, fellow VJers... I have never tried to use this forum as an emotional support group, but this stuff has got me demoralized. 69 days in since DS-5535 was submitted, no answer in sight, and after 2.5+ years of waiting for a spousal visa coming from *Canada*. Haven't seen my wife since a *year* already. COVID exploding again. Stuff feels not so optimistic.

I know how you feel! It is very hard to remain optimistic when there is no movement. I am at the 64 day mark. My medical was the only thing missing. The results were submitted 2 days later. It’s is absolutely ridiculous! Praying that we all get approvals soon!
