Hi All, For those who have received their visas and passports back and have made their way to the US: My visa stamp (I-551?) shows "IV Expires on January 22, 2025". What is the process/protocol for extending or re-applying leading up to this expiration date? Is this the expiration for just the stamp in the passport while I await my green card in the mail? Thanks!

Hi Everyone - after my updated medical results and passport were delivered to the embassy on July 31st, I have gotten my passport back with the visa in it! My interview was back in April 2023.
-
Yes, only last updated date shows. I think most people will check regularly to track their own history. I just make a note in my notes app on my phone every time I see an update to track the frequency.

To those who have had to submitted second medicals: I completed mine last week but was told by the clinic that my case number has expired and they are waiting for the embassy to re-activate it in order to send in the results. My interview was in April 2023. Is this normal? Does anyone know the turnaround time for the embassy getting it re-activated?

Hi All, We randomly decided to log into CEAC and noticed that under IV Application it says Re-opened and the highlight box says "once you have made your changes, to resubmit DS-260". Does this mean anything? I don't really want to click on anything out of fear it will mess something up in the back end... It's been a while since I last checked but this is the first time I'm seeing it say "Re-Opened".
-
Has anyone abandoned this route and decided to have their American spouse immigrate to Canada instead? What is that process like? Is it just as slow?
-
Thanks all. Will keep the group updated with any movement.
-
They haven't since we're still within the timeframe they have to respond. And no changes to my case in CEAC. This email didn't even correspond with a case update, which it usually does when I get those generic email responses from them.
-
Yup lawyers have been informed, so awaiting their response. We filed for WOM last month.
-
Thanks. Yeah, I'm guessing (and hoping) it means we're just continuing the wait... I haven't received/seen anything like this before either, which is why I had a mini panic attack.
-
Hmm thanks... yeah, I submitted my responses to DS5535 last year... exactly 11 months ago today, actually!

Hi All, I just received this email from the MTL consulate. Is this any different from what I've been in since being placed in AP? Or is this the final decision by the embassy? I'm coming up to the year mark since my interview... Being in AP is one thing but I truly have no idea why I would be denied. If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated. Good afternoon, The consular officer, after carefully considering your application and reviewing all available information, determined you have not established that you are eligible for a visa and denied your visa application under INA 221(g). Additional security screening is being conducted. Depending on the screening results, a consular officer may reconsider your eligibility for the visa. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Regards,

Hey Everyone, I've been tracking the Google Spreadsheet and it's super disheartening to see that there have been very few updates and approvals. How is everyone coping? I'm just at a loss and can't believe it's been now almost 6 months since my interview. Filing for WOM is something we don't really have the bandwidth for but is this the only way forward? This whole situation is just mind-boggling...

Great news! Happy for you.
-
That's exciting! You'll have to keep us updated. How long has the wait been for you since the interview/DS-5535?
-
Oh interesting! What have the status changes been? I haven't seen a status change but they've "opened" my case once or twice since, whatever that means...
-
Interview was on April 13th so still getting over the initial shock after getting the verbal approval at the embassy. Keep us updated on that process. Good luck!
-
Hah I feel you . How long have you guys been waiting?
-
Any DS-5535 approvals lately?
-
Hi There - I'm with you, and it hasn't even been a week since I submitted mine Question - has your status changed at all? Like refused to AP? Mine is still saying "refused"... Anyways, seems like we're on a similar timeline so I'm looking forward to getting updates from you. The lack of visibility and uncertainty of it all is the worst part. Thanks for sharing... that is super helpful. I'm planning on flying to NYC this weekend.
-
Got it. Yeah, they kept mine but got DS-5535'd yesterday. I just got an email though from them saying my passport is being sent back along with the Purolator tracking number. So just a little confused.
-
Hey Everyone - another question! For anyone who was received DS-5535, would the embassy send your passport back proactively? Has this happened to anyone? Or would you have to request for them to send it back? Thanks! Amanda
-
Wow - I'm so sorry. That's super discouraging to hear 😔 If you could share how to request my passport back, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, thank you. I'm sorry you're in the same boat too. Have you received any updates? This is really such an awful process.
