Hi 

does anyone know how much time it takes for embassy to response after submitting the answers to their questionair mail 
Thank  you 

I assume it was the DS 5535, in that case it can take 60 days to up to 14+ months. My moms took 12 months to clear without a WOM

someone else here, took 14 months but they filed a WOM to get it moving. Without WOM, who knows how long it would’ve taken.

Ah ok. For my mom it took 2-3 days.

This is like the problem for everyone caught in this going forward: their response times are getting worse...

For what it's worth, I have travelled many times to see my wife in Miami since being in AP with DS-5535. So yes, but as always, it is up to the discretion of the CBP officer to let you in or not.
