@I M My appointment is Mid July

Ali BMay 24, 2023
@Amar Hadwan Thank you! Your date is so close to mine, I would think you should’ve gotten it. Double check your email. It doesn’t show that I have an interview on CEAC yet. Just the email they sent. If there’s nothing, then that likely means you’ll get your interview next month. I don’t know what happened at Djibouti but things slowed down a lot

@zaytoon blaady Thank you! Of course, I was always checking to see when they were scheduling interviews for so I could get a better idea of when my interview would be. Always happy to help

Ahmed kJun 13, 2023
Hi family any updates for DQ on Feb 15th 2023 or anyone got interview DQ on January please if anyone Knows lmk please thanks
A
Ali BJun 15, 2023
@Abu Bher I think they should give more appointments on 23/24 of this month. That’s when we will know what cases they are working on. Last month they still didn’t finish December cases. At this rate, you’ll probably get your appointment in another 2-3 months

Ahmed kJun 15, 2023

Ali BJun 18, 2023
@Naz 7 Salam brother! How was the interview? What kind of questions did they ask and do you have any tips?
Naz 7Jun 18, 2023
@Ali B wa elaikom aslam brother. alhamdullialh it went great! you know the most important tip is be well prepared in terms of documents and more importantly be able to answer questions. but in my case I noticed that the last thing a consular officer saw was the documents, I mean their obviously required but I assure you the descion will be based on how you answer the questions, so it's important to answer questions truthfully. a few questions were asked, when did you get married and who filed your case. also it is very important to show proof of relationship such as photos of you and spouse. alhamdullial I wasn't given a yellow slip( 221 g) administrative processing. he took my passport and said to check status online. the interview lasted for 8 minutes for others five minutes. hope this helps let me know if you any other questions This is based on personal experience,

Ali BJun 19, 2023
@Naz 7 thanks for your response brother! I greatly appreciate the tips. Thinking about the interview is nerve wracking for sure. Glad to hear it went well for you! InShaAllah you will have your visa in the next few days!!
Naz 7Jun 19, 2023
@Ali B same goes to you brother good luck May allah make it easy on yah. and for the rest inSha Allah

@Naz 7 Alsalam Alikom, thank you for the information my husband has an appointment after two weeks and that was helpful. Also can I know how long it takes until you get the visa? His Visa is CR1 too

@Naz 7 And for the ds5535 did you fill that and take it with you
Naz 7Jun 28, 2023
@aya . wa elaikom Al Salam. for the ds5535, you only need to fill it out if requested to do so, and my wife’s visa was issued two days after the interview. hence, if the consular officer keeps the passport after the interview, it means that the visa will be issued within a few days. hopefully he doesn’t get put under administrative processing, just be prepared and have photos of proof of relationship. good luck!
