The dreaded DS-5535 thread for Montreal. Post here and support each other (PART 2)

[Irish89 44]

@Delafere  Unfortunately I feel like we are in for the long haul here as there are no cases on here that look like they get processed any sooner than 12 months in IR-1. We are already preparing to be filing a WOM whenever we reach the time of waiting long enough to be eligible to file one as we even without kids are finding the long distance to be very tough. I'd be interested to share our timelines and any updates we receive in the meantime.

Feel for you and your family being separated at this time. Hope you get some good news very soon.

Hey. Question for all concerned. Has anyone emailed back their DS-5535 with additional evidence as attachments? The interviewer didn't take any of my spouses W2's, tax return and employment letter which I thought was of high importance?

Also my Passport expires sooner than the expected time in which we will see any final decision from DS-5535. Anyone have experience in a similar situation?

Is everyone getting ds5535 after interview?

I already sent my questionair email last January but yesterday I received a mail they are asking cv or resume .what should I write more in resume because I already informed my job history 

Thank you 

The CV or resume is a written summary of your education, work history and skills. You must send one every time you apply for a new job - so you should have one already-.

 

There are plenty of samples and templates online if you need help writing yours.

Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone has travelled back and forth to the US to be with their spouse while in AP with DS-5535. Technically we can travel for up to 3 months at a time right? We are just wondering what our options are here as the long distance is tough as we are all aware of. Appreciate your input here.

@Lemonslice @Ontarkie and @Allaboutwaiting thank you so much for your response 

thank you

1. They don’t want anything of that for 5535

2. If your passport expires before clearance it will be returned to you (if not already) and they will ask for a renewed one before they can issue your visa.

oh wow, they seem to be always requesting an extension to the initial 60 days, to 90 days.  I’m sure there is the light ahead for you

Hey all.

 

Got refusal under 221g for AP (no documents required) during my interview on March 6th. They kept my passport and told me it’ll be 1-3 weeks for my passport return and that they would approve my visa within 24hrs. But it’s almost been a week, and I’ve gotten nothing. I was wondering if they sent me a DS5535 but I remembered that the email the NVC had on file was incorrect. Didn’t worry too much before the interview because my husband was being CC’d in all the emails. But now I’m worried they sent the DS5535 to the wrong email and if they don’t CC’ing my husband I’ll never know. 
 

Is there any way other to know if I need to fill out a DS5535 without having access to the email they might have sent it to?

@Beefybabygirl Unfortunately they don't CC your sponsor of those emails. I'm surprised you didn't update your email on CEAC prior to the interview. Anyway, the only option here is to email montreal-iv-dv@state.gov with your case number, your name, birthdate, sponsor name, their birthdate and see if you can get it updated. Or inquiry to montreal-iv-dv@state.gov.
