Ginna Jaramillo

My fiance went to his interview on 5/19/23 and the consul was unfriendly and just gave him his passport with a white slip stating that he must submit a DS-5535, which was sent on 5/20/23. tomorrow it will mark the 180 days since the form was sent. All the forums and questions that I see in regards to administrative processing with a DS-5535 is in Asian countries. Does any one know about Colombian in South America? What are my options?

Hello.. I know it’s been a while but I was wondering how you processed ended. My fiancé is in Colombia and also was asked to fill form DS-5535. I’ve never heard of this, so any information is greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

My fiance will have the interview this week, and I have a question. I am divorced and we need to present termination of marriage, which I scanned and my fiance printed a copy. However, checking the packet with instructions it states it must be a certified photocopy. Will this become a problem on the day of the interview.

If you don't mind me asking, Did you scheduled your interview? for when?

The second one Sure I am available

Wanted to give an update. This morning we tried again and was able to get an appt. at the embassy. The soonest appt. for us was 05/19 so we grabbed it. Wishing you all the best of luck!

Hello 👋🏻 yes finally it says “ready” in my end as well. Super excited. I immediately sent an email to ivbogota@state.gov stating that we show ready in the ceac system and will like to know how to proceed. I provided the same info as it is shown in the letter that was emailed from NVC. (Case #, beneficiary name and petitioners name) we also just finished submitted the DS160 which is a requirement to make an appt. At the end it provides you with a reference number in which you will need to put along your case number to register for an appt. For my understanding is that we don’t need to wait for packet when scheduling an appt. For embassy in Bogota, However I tried doing so and it said case is not ready for appt. Maybe is because it is to soon. I will continue trying tomorrow and see.
