Anyone know how to Track documents sent to the consulate via DX? I have a tracking no , but its not working.?

Does anyone know how long does it take the Medical to be sent over to the consulate and how much time the consulate takes to process the medical? thanks.

Because when I login to CEAC website, the DS-260 has a expiration date of 2 years from the date I completed it.

So everyone who has been in AP in Canada and then gets a medical/passport request has filled out a DS-260 (if its more than 1 year since the Document has been filled out) or only some people have? thanks.

No updates yet it’s taking usually 9 months to 1 year before u hear back from the us consulate

Nope nothing again from what I have seen it takes 1 year from day 5355 to get clearance

It’s taking 5355 almost a year to clear

Nope still waiting …

No it seems like AP with DS5355 is taking any where from 8 months to a year in other consulates

Ds-260 , I thought is only valid for one year ?

Where have u seen the approvals ? on VJ I don’t see any approvals

good news, I got in touch with someone on telegram , and it seems like that 2 cases who interview in ISB since May 2023, both were given DS5355 One was cleared within 5 months. One was Cleared within 7 months. so it seems like ISB is moving faster for 5355 than other consulates.

let me take clear up a few things that are mystery and not any more (from my limited knowledge) : - Immigrant and K1 DS-5355 is done by Office of Screening, Analysis and Coordination (SAC). - all other non-immigrant visa checks for DS-5355 are done by National Vetting Center you can read up on this in detail (this is a statement under oath in court by the person running the Immigrant Visa DS5355 vetting): https://redeaglelaw.com/blog-1/f/administrative-processing-backlog-of-66000-visa-applicants So given this people who are in immigrant Visa status and given a DS5355 need to compare their timeline with other people who have the same situation I also agree that Iranian applicant are screened more thoroughly, but what about applicant from Canada, on VJ there is a thread for Canada consulate and all the people there have been waiting for their medical who had a interview since Jan 2023. the last visa approval/Medical on that forum was from Sept 2023.... So everyone who is trying to make sense of DS-5355 but the data seems to point to a long wait if you are an immigrant visa applicant with DS5355.

These people who u are talking about were they given 5355 because u could be in AP without 5355 and it probably is shorter but I have not known anyone on this forum that has AP cleared 5355 with less than 8 months or so ..

Inshallah I will there is a Persian chat with all the Iranians on AP it seems like they are getting request for medical around 12 months so I don’t think anyone gets approved in AP within a few months may Allah help us all

5355 could be because of a lot of reason

White slip , spouse visa , yes I have a long travel history also . issue is that other consulates are taking very long to process 5355 may be 9-12 months so wanted to know what happens at Isb consulate

What is this whale or donkey mantis ?

I actually think its because of TAL .

I have the same question and would like to know anyone who is dealt with DS-5355 from Pakistan recently.

may be... again I only found another person who was from another country and also given DS-5355 , so its very rare in London consulate.

india.

Also there is a review of the consulate from another couple who filed for K1 and their visa took 9 months also (but that case I am not sure 5355 was requested from them )

Interview was ok . Nothing major . was asked for some missing documents and then mailed Ds 5355 after the interview I have found another user who was put in AP in 2023 in London and it took them 9 months to clear it

let’s see we should the results soon enough. Given that spreadsheet I see a bunch of people from feb through April 2022 if they all get approved then WOM is not useful . …
