Do you mean to say, first they asked for Resume and you sent it, and later on after few days they communicate again and asked for DS-5535 form as well?

When was your interview and for how long you are waiting for?

 At interview they didn’t ask for the resume, the CO printed out the 221(g) and told me you’ll be receiving an email with questions that you need to answer.She further added that she don’t know how long is it going to take for further processing but make sure you send the answers ASAP. Next day I received and email with DS-5535 link and also requested for the updated CV or resume with all the start and end dates of education and work history.

Does that mean your application starts over? Is there an additional cost and wait to resubmit DS260?

No, it’s just administrative, the portal unlocks the DS260 and applicant has to review, update as required, sign off and submit. The file is at the embassy already so it doesn’t “start over.”

I gotchu , sorry I thought he is your husband. It is good to be on the safe side. I have decided to email them every 10 days too. Hopefully they will answer is soon. I noticed they are not working much since August.

WOM filed in september after 4 months post interview. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss… WOMs are definitely no longer the way to go!

No apology needed! I just want to make sure there are no chances taken LOL

They seem to reply to emails after about 10 days. Please update us with what they say!

The last one I sent on the 3rd of November, I guess I have to wait another week or so.

Guys it is been 8 weeks since I sent my passport. Should my husband reach a senator or a state representative? Do you think that will make any change. Please share your experiences. Thanks

They asked for my resume as well. My education falls in TAL. They further asked me to fill out DS-5535. During the interview the CO was focused on my education and research area. I had to explain her my entire research as she’s going to hire me for the job. Anyways it is what it is… It’s a wait game now.

I submitted my CV on Friday, and my status updated on Mon as well as on Tuesday, what does status change mean right on the next two working days?

It is good It means someone checking your file. I would feel good if I see some update on the dates.

Unfortunately, dates updates are not useful as it only means your file was touched - could be progress, could be routine administrative work. It’s impossible to know.
