Hey did you get the visa?

Greetings all, I am compiling a spreadsheet with as much information as possible to explain my K1 process to you all. However there is alot of information and I want to make sure everything is right before I post it to you all completely. As of right now though, there have been a few case updates (maybe around 5) and a Motion to Dismiss but still no Visa. Although I pray everyone gets through this troubling time and can be reunited with their loved ones soon.

Am I tripping ? Or does that there are people in AP / DS 5535 waiting 700 days?!

Do we have a comparative sheet for 221(G) / 5535 comparing 2021, 2022, / 2023 approvals?

Please update your timeline

Hey can you please update your timeline when you get a chance, its hard to keep track of everyones with 5535 on VJ.

Please update your timeline if possible

Hey did you get the visa and can you please update your timeline.

Greetings All, Just wanted to start a Mena DS-5535 Forum, as it seems tons of people here go through this process and have no platform to vent. I am not sure how deep this rabbit hole will go but I hope this will become a venue everyone can talk and vent and retain information lost with those throughout this process. As of right now, here is my timeline everybody: I hope you all gain something from this: 08MAY2023 - Interview Date - Ready 09MAY2023 - Refused 221(G) - Documents not Submitted. 10MAY2023 - Refused 221(G) - Documents Submitted 11MAY2023 - Refused 221(G) - No Action on our Behalf 22MAY2023 - Refused 221(G) - No Action on our Behalf 24MAY2023 - Refused 221(G) - No Action on our Behalf 26MAY2023 - Refused 221(G) - No Action on our Behalf 06JUNE2023 - Refused 221(G) - No Action on our Behalf 20JUNE2023 - WRIT OF MANDAMUS FILED - PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS and Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief against RENA BITTER, ANTONY J.

We had started the process to file a Writ of Mandamus after 40 days and spent $4000.00. We used Morrison-URENA. There is a Telegram Group called 'mandamus_ap' on Telegram if you give it a search that has a list of verified lawyers to give you some additional guidance that I highly recommend. Although I cannot provide the link here, you can type what I put in bold and the group will pop up. As for now. Lets see where this goes everyone. My fiance and I have 10 days left until the Gov't has to respond so wish us luck!

Hello everyone, I wanted to inquire about the status of my fiance's K1 visa application. We recently went through the interview process and unfortunately, we were refused under 221(G). However, the counselor provided my fiance with a DS 5535 form to fill out and the status date has updated three times since the interview on the CEAC website from 08MAY2023, to 09MAY2023, to 10MAY2023 to 11MAY2023. We are wondering if the multiple status updates mean that our case is moving quickly and if we should expect to hear something soon. Additionally, we were given a green slip after the interview which we filled out the first day as opposed to the other colors (Yellow, White, Blue). Has anyone had a similar experience with their K1 visa application? Can anyone offer any insight or advice on what we can expect moving forward? Thank you in advance for any information or support you can provide.
