I’m curious if the officer looked into your case at all when you got your children’s activated?

No. They only received information of the visa issued. My file has not reached their desk yet.

Hello All,

 

Did any of the folks from Jan, Feb, Mar & Apr 2023 received any updates ?

 

It would help us a lot in knowing if any of the files are moving for the early 2023 DS-5535 candidates.

 

Thanks.

I received my DS5535 form in November 2023 and had not travelled to the US since. This past Sunday I crossed the border at Toronto Pearson without any issues. I was worried for the last 6 months and was separated from my husband out of fear. They asked me why I am going and when I am returning to Canada and let me through. This is for those individuals that have any doubts about travelling to the US during admin processing. I would also like to add that I did cross the border after travelling to three new countries since I submitted my DS-5535 form.

We have same experiences travelling to US while in AP(most recently this weekend by road). 2-3 quick questions and related to the purpose of visit and duration of stay. I think agent at booth  do not have access to state dept system until the system alert them to send folks to secondary.

We are late May coming up on a year and the only update this year was a solicited one. Has anyone heard anything from their lawyers about why the timelines are suddenly increasing so much? The new tracker is not 100% accurate in its analysis since many of us now have been waiting a year or more.

According to the track sheet, your interview / ds5535 submission was on January 2024. Wouldn’t it be too early for WOM?
