Ceac status update

[Cynthiar 0]

Hi I have a question hopefully someone can help me. My husband was placed on administrative processing. He was requested to fill out DS5535. We have sent that form in already and his status date has updated every single day for the past week and I was wondering if that was a good sign or is this normal? Thanks for your help in advance!

AP is open-ended.  There is just no way to know how long it will take.  It could be days, weeks, months, or even years.  Your only options are to wait and/or sue the US Government.

What country?

 

There must have been red flag issues that concerned the CO like travel history of the intending immigrant

 

Requested information includes full 15-year histories for residential addresses; all travel and how it was funded; employment history; passports & countries of citizenship; and names and birthdates for all siblings, children, and spouses/domestic partners. In addition, it request all social media accounts and email addresses (including user names) for the past 5 years. The form also contains questions that lead back to the Cold War-era concerns relating to jobs or education that have to do with technology, science, or military experience that could raise a red flag.

 

Type ds 5535 in the above search box and bring up the experience others have had or are having

I’m sorry I just realized I didn’t make sense. He was born in Mexico and was brought to the US since he was 3 years old and has lived there since.

I have what I think is a similar situation.  Admins, if this isn't the correct place for this post, please advise.  My intention is not to highjack someone else's post.

My husband was refused under 221(g) because they wanted a second Dr visit.  The kept his passport at the London embassy. He went to the  second Dr visit on Mar 6, 2023 and passed.  The Dr sent this info to London on Mar 10 and it was reviewed Mar 18.  However, his status still shows as refused and hasn't updated since.  There are no gray areas as the second Dr visit was fine so idk why they won't process his British passport and allow him to come here.  Is it just too soon?  Any thoughts?

For which Embassy if you don't mind me asking, and what was the reason they gave at the interview?
