hi @Yousef Mohammed how long did the whole process take from filing to interview.

@Estella ess hi,, it took three years

@Hih Mi it's ok they have translators, but I think from my experience it's better if you can speak English,, i took with me 30 photos but she picked only five,,, and lastly about how we met ,, she didn't ask me , but i heard other interview getting asked this and they answered my mom or my sister knew her

@Hih Mi are you from Yemen? it was my first time in Djibouti, so one of my friends has a friend in Djibouti and he gave me his whatsup number , i contacted him when I arrived

unfortunately everything is expensive in Djibouti and everyone is opportunistic even Yemeni who live there @Hih Mi

and the problem is they don't speak Arabic nor English , so i needed help but it costed me alot , because when they see a foreigner price goes up like a double

so it's essential that your husband has someone helps him at first , and i if you need i will give you a friend number

Congratulations

@Yousef Mohammed did know if tgey start giving interviews dq in April

@Hih Mi of course in sha allah

@Wind Master about ten months

@Hussein K maybe next month

@Yousef Mohammed did you move your interview to Djibouti from any country?

@Yousef Mohammed congrats and did you have to get Covid vaccine before your medical

@Estella ess there's no usa embassy in Yemen so from the beginning it's in Djibouti

@ammar m yes , and don't listen to people who says you will get sick , they will make you pay ten thousand frank while if you take it it's free

okay

@Yousef Mohammed do you know if I can transfer my case from Ghana to Djibouti? I was DQ’d in August 2023 still waiting for interview date

@Estella ess I think you can, but i don't know about Ghana waiting Time, but in Djibouti it's about ten months, and from what I hear it can gets way longer if you transfer

@Yousef Mohammed Congratulations brother I just want to ask you about your DS260 did you fill it by yourself or someone else did? I mean if you still remember the informations in your Ds260 is all the answers is correct?? because when I checked my Ds260 I find out that the Lawyer who filed my Ds260 answered some questions wrongly

i thought it’s important to take alot of photos but you said you took 30 only? do you think it’s better if i take more photos?

@Yousef Mohammed, Congratulations! Did they ask you for DS5355?

كيف استلمت الجواز اليوم التالي ارجو ان تفيدني؟ مقابلة زوجتي كانت في يوم 9 نوفمبر وكل شي كان على مايرام وسلمو لها ورقة صغيرة بيضاء واخذو منها الجواز دخلت اشوف حالة الملف اول يوم كان تحديث بنفس يوم المقابله اجراءات أدارية ولكن اليوم عندما دخلت ابحث عن حالة الملف مكتوب ready هل سيكون هناك مقابلة ثانية ولا ايش وضعهم وأقدر اروح أستلم الجواز بدون موعد ولا لازم انتظر حتى يتم تحديد موعد من السفارة لأستلام الجواز او يكون فيه تحدث بحاله الملف انة issued

@Yousef Mohammed

@Hih Mi yes of course with money

@Mohammed Abdo thanks bro ,, i filled it by myself,the lawyer only help on clarification some questions,,how did the lawyer know where have you been and what school you have attended??

@Nasser Hdwan as i said before the officer only choose five photos, one photo me , my wife and her brother ,,, the second me , my wife and my mother, and asked who are they,, of course these photos of the wedding , she choose also photo of us on the beach , on mountain , in the zoo with my daughter. so i think what matters is quality over quantity, but if you wants to bring more photo it will not hurt i suppose

@FARES ALI PLATTS it was ready with me , but when i give them the papers in first window, they gave it back and the officer didn't ask me about it.

@Abdulwahid M Al-sharabe ماتقلق رح يسلموا لها قريب ان شاء الله، حتى انا كانت اول يوم تطلع اجراءات ادارية بس الحمد الله اتغيرت ثاني يوم ،،ما تقدر تروح تستلمها الا لما تتغير الحالة الى اصدرت "issued"

@Yousef Mohammed did you handle the DS-5355 form with the other papers or kept it with?

@Wind Master oops 😅,, i received IL in sep 19 so it's about seven months, and about the DS5355 yes i filled it up ahead , it was ready with the papers.

@Hih Mi yes i handed them the DS5355 WITH my documents which is my birth certificate, my marriage contract,,, etc

@Yousef Mohammed did you get a email during your interview letter saying To submit your Ds-5535 application form please visit this Link- << Form DS-5535 Supplemental do I submit the ds5535 online ?

@ammar m no my interview appointment email did not mention anything about DS5535

Yousef Moh, how are you? Could you please indicate me if you uploaded the updated police clearance in the NVC website before the interview OR should I only take it with me to the interview? Al Fahad office saying that we should upload it before the interview!!!

assalamualaikum y'all does anyone know which months djibouti embassy are working on now I was DQ in April 14th 2023 and still haven't gotten any interview letter yet. please let me know if you guys know, thanks y'all

@hibby they are working on the end of March the last person I seen dq’d was March 27 so next month they will send out from March 28 and up there was a couple of people who got interviews who were dq’d April 5 but the vast majority of people between March 28 and April 5th have not gotten interviews my dq is April 13 so we should get ours possibly next month

@j l ooh I see. thank you for your clarification 😊

hello @hih mi it were only the questions i mentioned in the post

does anyone know if they will still send out more interviews this month

@j l I think they finished march DQs and next month they will start December

@soso mused I haven’t seen anyone get their interview who were dq between March 28 and April 4 besides the two people who were dq April 5

a person ik that works with paper work for DQ people said they finished march. probably just no one posted that was dq around March 28

@Mohamed Ali Mohamed Wan ku salaamay bro, i was thinking to transfer my interview from Ankara to Djibouti i was dqed 31 August 2023. I am wondering how long the transfer takes and Did that affects the waiting time ( Tusaale hada almost 4 months aya laga joogaa dq-ga marka hadii aan soo wareejiyo oo djibouti 10 months interview lagu helo xisaabta halkaas miyey iiga soconaysaa mise marki djibouti soo gaaro baa la iiga bilaabaya tirada) jwabtada aad ayey muhim igu tahay Thanks.

bondye ap delivrew frem

@Sammy Ali here in Ankara it takes forever to get appointment plus there is 80% chance you stuck Administrative processing which also takes forever to get response. In djibouti atleast you get interview faster and you save some time.

@Ali Ali حوالي عشرين دقيقة ،، هل طلعت الفيزا تبعك؟

@Ali Ali اوووة افتهملي غلط ،، انت قصدك كم ايام على بال ماتطلع الفيزا،، والله مش عارف بس ان شاء الله قريب
