221(g) Administrative Processing Visa Delay Interview with Attorney Josh Goldstein

[@hornermike6940]

We have submitted police clearance during the interview? So what kind of background check consulate will do because they have already police letter with them

[@truthtruth9745]

Our immigration journey started over 6 years ago and we are getting delays and more delays! The CEAC Wendy is saying it's ready for interview and the embassy has my wife's passport! We're waiting for the embassy to contact us with a interview date as our DS-260 is expiring April 30.

My son needs surgery in the US because this surgery isn't available in Jamaica. however they required some additional documents such as a letter from his doctor to state that its not available locally, proof of where im gonna stay for the duration of his surgery, proof of payment etc. I had my interview on the 29th of October and submitted the documents on the 3rd of November. It has been in AP since. How long does this process the for medical related issues?

My husband had his interview on 8/30/21. He was interrogated and asked questions not related to our marriage, made to sign a dictated, hand written statement declaring everything he said was truthful, then issued an 221(g). He has documented all that happened that day. The officer stated he feels our marriage is fraudulent despite mountains of evidence that says otherwise. My husband answered all the questions correctly. Please help us with this!

[@mobixbox]

Hi, After my embassy appointment, I received a pink 221(g) letter and am currently in Administrative Processing. They sent me an email containing multiple questions, one of which was, "When did you begin and end your military service?" Unfortunately, I made an error while filling out my DS-160 form, where I mistakenly entered my military end date as January 19, 2018, instead of the correct date of April 19, 2018. Should I mention this DS-160 error in my reply email to the embassy, or should I only provide the documents and the correct date? Thank you so much for your invaluable, informative, and helpful videos.

[@JoelenLima1]

Hey Joshua! Greetings from Brazil! My case is: L1/L2 Visa process with strong documentation, but I have received 221g. Two facts: i got married 45 days ago and my parents tried tourist visas (and had a denial) in the same day I did the L1 interview. They kept my passport. How much time do you think I need to wait to get in touch or sue them? My risk is to loose the job offer I received from the North American afilliate from my company here. Thank you!

[@Saidbahar-ir1mf]

Dear Applicant, Thank you for your email. Your immigrant visa case is still refused under INA Section 221(g) for administrative processing, an integral part of the visa adjudication and issuance process that can neither be expedited nor waived. Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict the amount of time the processing will take, and timing varies based on the individual circumstances of each case. The visa application will be reconsidered when administrative processing is complete. Please be assured that we are aware of your concerns and will process the application to completion as quickly as possible, in accordance with U.S. laws. We recognize that this process can be frustrating for applicants and regret any inconvenience. You will be contacted if any information is

How do I speed up the process of 221g

[@roh2778]

I recently faced a situation where my F-1 visa was canceled at the U.S. port of entry, and I was given a 5-year bar for alleged unauthorized employment, which I denied. The basis for this allegation was a WhatsApp conversation. The consulate in my country advised me to reapply for the visa, which I did. During my visa interview, the consular officer took my passport and documents,gave me 221G. I provided a letter from my university stating that I was not involved in any unauthorized employment, details of an on-campus internship, and evidence of my good academic standing. Additionally, I showed my net worth certificate from a Chartered Accountant and other supporting documents. Given these circumstances, is there anything more I can do to expedite my case? Are there any specific steps or additional documentation that could improve my chances of getting a waiver for the 5-year bar? Any advice on how to handle this situation to facilitate a quicker and favorable resolution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@ImmigrationStation4U]

Receiving a 221(g) white slip at the end of your visa interview means that the consular officer has determined that they need additional administrative processing before making a final decision on your visa application. The 221(g) is not a denial; it's a temporary refusal pending further action. The time it takes for administrative processing can vary, and unfortunately, there's no fixed timeframe. You can check the status of your case using the CEAC (Consular Electronic Application Center) online portal. The embassy will contact you if they need any further information or documentation.

Today I had my F1 interview in Mumbai. It went great. I was confident and didn’t fumble. And VO looked pretty chilled too. But at the end, he kept my passport and handed me 221g saying that everything is clear from his end but needs to do administrative processing in the afternoon. He didn’t ask for any documents. My financials are solid. No Issue with that. Is it just a background check since I mentioned UAE in countries visited in last 5 year on DS 160?
