My visa now said ISSUED on Nov. 16! I cannot believe it! I first submitted my I-130 Jan 2020 and it was sent to NVC September 2020. My interview was November 2021 and I was issued the dreaded DS5535 and they requested a resume. After exactly a year and some odd days, I finally received an issued status. Some of you might be aware that my last update was Jan. 7, 2022 but in October I sent and email. In the email I explained that I received no updates for more than 10 months and I wanted to raise attention to my case and asked for a just and fair review. This worked for me because soon after, I started receiving 5 new updates and two weeks ago they requested a new medical, passport photos and my passport and I didn't go through with WoM.
I completely understand the hopelessness you all feel in this process and I wish you all the best, especially @ice-qube and @BatmanFlow although your mom is also nearing the end of this process too!
