Hello Every one . 

Thanks every one for answering and participating in my thread.  Again I am here with few questions I hope you all will answer and help me out 

#1: What is case status update on CEAC ?

#2: What this means ?

#3: How significant this is for applicant in AP ?

#4: How often one can get this case status update?

#5: When can I expect my first update after submitting Ds-5535 ?

#6:Do I need to worry if I don't get any update in 2 weeks (Mine is showing the date of my interview (Is this means no update ). 

#7:How will I know Embassy received my Ds-5535 and the form is correct and got accepted ?

For info I haven't received any email from them.

Extended Administrative Processing is open-ended.  That means there is no time limit.  The status updates don't mean anything.  You are in a waiting game.  Don't expect any news or information until the processing is done.

What is case update date  at CEAC means ? How will I know if embassy got my Ds-5535 and the form is as per there requirement ? Its been 10 days and I have no response . Should I contact them ? How to contact Islamabad Embassy for immigrant visa(can any one help me with email). 

Thank you all for responding to my thread and my questions.

The status updates do not have a meaning, at least not the one you’re looking for. You’re trying to read way too much into it

 

I’m sure the courier service shows “delivered” so that’s your proof. The consulate doesn’t have an obligation to confirm delivery for everything.

 

I would be very careful with bombarding the consulate with emails. I’m sure they will not appreciate that given how many people go through what you’re going through

Problem is mine Ds-5535 was online , so that's why I am worried about last status update or want to know How to contact embassy and ask if they got my form and it is accepted(as per there requirements)

And you are right about me trying reading way to much  , Thing is this been way to long ( I waited 3 years just for interview on spouse visa) this waiting is getting good out of me.

If you submitted it online then you know it's been received (there would have been a message saying so after you hit the 'submit' button). If it doesn't meet the consulate requirements then they'll be in touch again.

Nothing to do but wait, you won't get any kind of update in the interim as said above.

Tomorrow 5th April will be 2 months since my case is in AP(Ds-5535) , I don't have any case last update yet on CEAC . I am going to email Islamabad  embassy (Pakistan) and will ask them politely what ****** is going on . I have also not receive any conformation email from  them about my Ds-5535(If they received it or not and was it up to the standards and correct) .

I waited 3 years for my interview (yes for interview) and my category is IR-1......In short this whole Ds-5535 thing is ******, especially when millions of people illegally cross into US every year.

Whole thing started in 2016 and Still going on , And my category is IR-1 ............  7 years 8 months already passed .......

This been over 3 months under DS-5535 , still have No case last update date change, waiting for reply to my email from Islamabad embassy which I sent after 90 days In AP...... O GOD , this is so pain full, Just saw a Pakistani brother going throw same pain (his wife with no travel history is in AP under DS-5535 from last 3 months) on this forum. 

[brkendream 13]

4 months  in AP under Ds-5535  , I emailed embassy After 1 month gap, No response from embassy . This was my second email to them , sending them email after 1 month gap,  started after 3 months in AP. Only positive thing is I had My very first Last Date Update on CEAC portal few days ago(after 4 months in AP).

This waiting period and especially ignoring by embassy is painful and hard and insulting on the same time. 

[brkendream 13]

5 months completed In AP under DS-5535 , I emailed Islamabad embassy 3 times and got no reply back from them , Last case update date only changed once (last month after 4 months in AP). 

Things are very bad and slow in Pakistan. This wait is turning into nightmare.

Hello everyone, 

Friend of mine who received re-medical email , had every thing done as per instructions, and on 19th of November embassy received everything asked for. Since then he had 2 unsolicited ceac date change but his case status is still refused. My question is, Is it normal ?  

He is so worried (so am I), I will keep you all updating about his and mine case so people "especially from Pakistan" can read this and have some knowledge and help. He almost completed 10 months(3 days short) in AP (DS-5535) before re-medical and passport email.

I am soon going to complete my 10th month (in 10 days) , My hopes are high, please pray for me and all other stuck in this misery. I will keep you all updated . If you have any update about your case or someone you know please don't be afraid to share with us. 

Thank you all.

Hello,  This whole AP thing is so painful, Stay strong and keep praying one day you both will be together. 

On my case , I completed my 10 months is AP , had 4 ceac case date updates in 15 days (which I never had , my first date update after submitting my documents was after 4 months),hooping and praying for good news soon.

On my friend , he got his re-medical email and passport email after completing 10 months in AP, Embassy received all what asked for on 19th of Nov now he is waiting, he had few date changes on ceac website, online research shows it can take 2 weeks to 6 weeks to get passport back with visa , so my guess is he will soon get his passport with visa(almost 4 weeks since embassy received all his papers).

Now on your case , what is ceac website status for your husband application ?, is it "refused" or is it "Administrative Processing"
