I expect most of the backlog clear around July. We will come back and see I guess.

That strikes me as being highly optimistic but you are right we will see.

 I hope so but why do you expect that?
according to an article I read on the Redeagle law firm website, there are currently 66,000 visa applicants stuck in administrative processing. and only 37 State Department analysts are responsible for the national security vetting of DS-5535 responses.

Hello guys, I hope you are doing well all.

My mom got a DS 5535 paper at the embassy in Beirut, her appointment was at March 20th, i have sent the form on March 24th, the date started to update right after on the NVC status, however it is not updating anymore since April 8th (15 days ago), i know we cant do anything timewise but i contacted the embassy by email just to make sure they've received the form, i got no answers, is there anyone within the same boat ?
