Hi, family immigrant visa , had approval letter after visa interview, but just got my passport without any stampand letter. What does it means???. Can you explain it please

Hi ! Please where is thé différents betwen 221g anf ds5535? Thanks

Hello, I checked and my wife’s application says “Ready,” but she already did the interview. The interview went well and she was approved. No refusal or administrative process was said to her. She was told, “your visa is approved.” It has been two weeks now no passport back. I emailed the embassy and I was told the visa application is on administrative process. I’m confused. She was told approved and was never asked for any extra documents or administrative process. The only thing I’m thinking and please let me know if I’m wrong. My 2022 tax transcript was not uploaded on the day of the interview due to technical difficulties. She gave them the 2022 tax transcript and they make a copy. After the interview I tried uploading it again and it was successfully submitted. Could that be the reason? When is the right wait times before I get a lawyer like you involve?

Hi Machael! It's not uncommon for there to be a period of administrative processing following a successful visa interview. In your wife's case, the fact that her visa was approved during the interview is a positive sign. However, the subsequent administrative processing indicates that further checks or verifications are being conducted. This processing can take some time, and the exact duration can vary depending on the circumstances.

Hello! You are doing an excellent job My question is! I was in the interview and at the end they told me that in the administrative process, 221g, after 3-4 days they sent me an email ds-5535, I filled out everything and they told me: the file was correct. We will contact you once the processing for your case is complete. Please do not make any plans to travel to US, until you have the visa with you. Sincerely, Consular Section. This message was sent to me on April 28, while the documents were updated until May 17, from May 17 to today they have not been updated. 60 days have passed since I entered the Administrative P, what should I do, contact the consulate or wait
