Same situation and also completely losing it

Congrats! Did anyone else who’s sent in their passports get a status change today?! We’re still waiting 🥲 was hoping this would be the week. Haven’t had an update since the 25th
-
Same here

We got a case update today too, this is our 4th unsolicited update since sending the passport and medical! Hopefully we will all get processed soon, this wait is agonizing 😫

We got the same reply last week - passport was delivered October 4th. Hopefully there will be a big batch of approvals soon
-
we also saw tracking from the post that it was delivered 1 day later, but we got an email two weeks later from one of our inquiries saying they were still waiting on the passport and photos. They explained in the email that passports are delivered to a receiving facility and it takes extra time for the consulate to actually receive them from there. We used the consulate courier service too
-
I would also recommend sending the passport as soon as possible. We got confirmation that our medical was delivered, but they are still waiting on our passport even though it was delivered 2 weeks ago. It sounds like it takes time for them to actually get the passports from their receiving facilities, and that is the limiting factor for us.
-
Did you get a case update when the medical was delivered or was the status change to issued the next update you got? The doctor confirmed our medical delivery on Friday and we got a case update today (but not Friday), but it still says refused. We are wondering if this is just them receiving the medical or if it means something more?
-
I have one more question. My husband moved while we were waiting for the passport request, and our lawyer emailed the consulate to ask them to update his address and the courier location, but we never got a response from them about this. We want to make sure his address is accurate so that when they send the passport back he will have his proof of address that matches, and so that it will be sent to the right location, does anyone have any suggestions for this?
-
Hello, this may be a dumb question but... how do we use the courier service to send the passport... We cannot find any information about how to do this in the request from the consulate just a statement that we should use their courier services. The link they provide us with that is supposed to allow us to request courier services is useless as far as I can tell. we ended up calling one of the customer services and they had us go to this website https://ais.usvisa-info.com/ and going through a whole process to get to this page. I just wanted to make sure that this is the process everyone else went through since it is so counterintuitive, and what did you put as your reason for request? Thank you in advanced. Somehow this keeps getting more complicated

As others have experienced, our senator reached out to the consulate and they replied with a request for my husband's passport and medical!! We received two case updates in August, so I suspect the ds-5535 was done processing and waiting on someone's desk and the congressional inquiry pushed them to send the email. Anyone who has received recent unsolicited updates should absolutely ask their senators to do a congressional inquiry. We can't believe the wait is finally coming to an end. I know there could still be a month or two of waiting to receive the passport back but the end is in sight! Thank you to everyone in this thread who provided advice and shared their experience, this all has continued to allow us to remain hopeful. We will provide a full timeline once my husband has successfully crossed the boarder

Hello! My husband's interview was in January (IR1/CR1 category, received ds-5535 request only) and we have received 2 unsolicited updates in the last 2 weeks! Before that, we've only received updates in response to emails since February. Trying not to get our hopes up too much since it is still early and we were bracing ourselves for at least a year, but given all of the recent movement it is hard not to get excited - has anyone gotten unsolicited updates like this and then still waited for months? We will post a full timeline to help others once this nightmare is over. This thread has been immensely helpful and it is so encouraging to see all of the good news recently!
-
Thank you this is so reassuring! What types of documents about the ongoing process did you have? Just the form request, or the filled out ds-5535, or all the documents brought to the interview?

Hello! My husband was given the ds-5535 at montreal in January. He has not yet tried to cross the border since then, but I have a surgery next week and he is going to try to fly here this coming Friday and we are very nervous. He is Canadian born and raised, but he is living at his parents while we wait this out and all of his work is freelance, so he doesn’t have the typical official “ties to canada.” He will have a return ticket, evidence of my surgery, and bookings in canada for when he returns. He also cancelled all meetings while he’s here so he doesn’t have to do any work. I know many people here have traveled to the US during AP with no problem, but we are nervous because of his lack of ties. Lawyers havent realIy been able to tell us much, just that it’s unknown and could be a little risky and we can’t predict what will happen. I guess we are just looking for some reassurance based on others experiences. How much questioning should we expect, and what would happen if he was turned away? Would it affect our ongoing immigration application?
