    DS-5535

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Hello, is there a whatsapp group for people who were given ds-5535 ? Unfortunately there are not much information online for this process and it is not easy to find people who are going through this process as sharing the same timeline with me. I could not find facebook helpful for this topic. I would appreciate if there is a going on group and I can join to track each other's process. 

    Thank you

    That Google docs was open to edit and even my entry was changed by another member so I started ny own.  Its also all ds5535 vj members I only focused on Pakistan.

     

    I have included in mine members from Facebook and whatsapp as well so I would not be able to share it.  I just cut out visa journey members for you to start. 

     

    I can send to you at least my notes as well to add to yours when I get on my laptop later today.

    can I please join the whatsapp group? 

    Thank you

    If you set your country in your profile you can easily go the Tunisia VJ Portal   https://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Tunisia&cty=Tunis

     

    Tunisia does not send out "packet 3".  You will need to self schedule your appointment.

     

    If the NVC recently sent your case to the consulate I would presume they are doing a few K1 interviews.   The best official source is the consulates web page.

     

    You don't have a timeline linked here so I'm guessing on your current status.

    Tunis embassy schedules interview. He does not need to schedule on his own. They are working and sending out interview emails.

    are those woman from pakistan?

     

    I am naturalized US citizen. (just like my whole family). it seem they gave that questioner for my wife & not for me. My wife is not my cousin. I'm surprised for this DS5535 as i don't see any reason behind it. its legit marriage & family history is clean too.

     

    our cases are very similar. Except the applicant's gender. I am Naturalized US citizen (originally from Turkey), my husband is from Tunisia. We are both in our 20's. There is no age gap nor prior marriages. We have tons of bonafide relation proofs. The consular did not even need to ask anything about our bonafide marriage. She was so nice. My husband is completely clean background. Only travel he did was to meet me and my family in Turkey. We had everything perfectly ready before the interview. He was approved but consular said he needs to fill out ds5535 so he was given 221g on interview day. I am just so sad because this wait seems not ending. We cant track or know how long the process take. :(

    People have filed in 5 months and gotten thru.  I would suggest 4 to 6 months js enough.  I filed at 14 months as I was not even aware of such a process. We were one of the early applicant when this all started.

    4 months is enough wait, the process itself will take 2 months . Demanding an answer in 6 months is fair. Also, they are just delaying it for no purpose. Once wom is filed, how come they are finish all the processes that they couldn't in 18 months and even 20+ months for some. 

    Waiting more than 4 months is not worth it. I have helped quite  a few people and was also following up with many of their statuses. 

    I feel the pain for people who and waiting and that is why I am giving my sincere advise. 

    Go for it at 4 months and of course consult with your lawyer. 

    Thank you so much for sharing your informative experience. I appreciate it. I will follow your advise. Do you know what factors does the wait time depends? I would like to know because the person who got interviewed 1 week before my husband also was given ds5535. It's same embassy, same category cr1, and both petitioners are USC. His wait was only 3 weeks. That gave me a hope that DC is working but sadly we are still waiting. 

    Asked to fill DS-5535 after verbal approval!

    Dear Aziz, I am wondering if having a long travel history can take longer for ds-5535 to process.

     

    Did you have a long travel history?

     

    Also, did they keep updating your case status date on ceac during the 28 days time when your form was under process?

     

    Please answer, thanks.

     

    Hi, I am in the same boat. The interview was approved but ds5535 was given in order to move forward with the application. its been 6 weeks for us. There is no date changed on CEAC at all. I believe the reason was because of travel.

     

    @hbbi did you have a travel history? where and how long please ? thanks

    did they keep your husband passport? and when does your medical expire

     

    No, they did not keep the passport but I know that returning passport is not a bad sign in Tunisia. I have seen many passports returned for AP reason and they were asked to bring back passport for the visa later. 

     

    Medical will expire after 4 and half month

    Ceac updated After 9 months AP

    Refused is the new status for AP nowadays.  But it could also be an actual refusal.

     

    I assume you recently had your interview?  If so, you should have been given a 221 form, with either a straight refusal (and the reason), requirements for additional items (like medical or more recent police report, or more evidence, etc.), or that your case needs additional time for administrative processing.

     

    Just the screenshot does not help us in commenting on your case.

    The actual refusal has a short paragraph like the one he attached. The new AP says refused but it has a long paragraph explaining that the case is undergoing a AP. Sadly. his refusal is actual.
