Yes, this is a very good sign.  Any request from the consulate when you are in DS-5535 is a good sign.  When was your interview and how long ago was your wife's medical?  

The interview was on Feb 2nd, medical was on the Jan 17.

 

 

Thank you

Status changed to "Application Received" today!! We filed a WOM with Hacking in September and got the request for a new medical in Jan. Just feels like every step has been taking sooo long.

Should I get the confirmation email from Montreal about receiving completed ds-5535?

Nope, only got it when we asked later for confirmation of receipt.

Hello guys, the consular asked my wife to send her Passport back, is it a good sign? They give her back initially and they issue DS 5535. Please advise. 

Did they ask for her resume with DS 5535? Did you get any other update after Feb 27 on the CEAC?

I handed in my CV at interview but CO told me to submit it again with ds 5535 form. She said I knew we have it but just copy and paste my resume under the form and submit it.

And the Group gets another new member. YAY. Interview was March 6th, interview seemed to go well, interviewer was nice and had good conversation. All going well and then just like it was nothing they issued me the 221(g). Received Ds-5535 in an email later the same day. I offered more information I had to support our case which they looked at very briefly and they then stated that there was nothing I could show them or do right there to avoid this action. I was told that a certain percentage of Visa's just don't get issued at the time of interview. Very disheartening to be here but at least we're not the only one's. Thoughts with anyone who have kid's that are dealing with this. Terrible to put legitimate families through this hardship.

They want a piece of paper summarizing your schooling and professional experience.  See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Résumé
Anything possibly sensitive, should be as detailed as possible.

I've been lurking here since this exact thing happened to us, Jan 11th interview. Exactly as you described it. I think some of them surely have to be random selection. We have two little kids and expecting a third. It's a nightmare. Hope you are one of the lucky ones and it's over sooner rather than later!
