221g Administrative Processing

[WaitinginSF42 0]

My fiance had his interview on the 26th, and he was issued a 221g. We've returned the requested documents a week ago, and haven't heard back from the Embassy. The status online is under "Administrative Processing." Does anyone have an idea of how long it will be until visa approval?

If you've ever been issued a 221g, could you tell me how many days you had to wait until sending the requested documents until approval?

This is the system used when docs are incorrect or missing. Since you have turned in the docs required the case will now continue to be processed.

No one can really tell you how long it will take. It depends on how busy they are; they deal with about 700 cases per month. You didn't mention what the docs are that were requested so its impossible to know how long they need to review them. One case for example resulted in a 221g because they wanted to look into the background of a person. That took 60 days. A simple addition to the file of the missing docs which we assume are correct may take a few days or weeks.

They wanted a statement on how we met and what languages we communicate with, along with his court records. He had previously been in a car accident and was cleared because they found it not to be his fault. Unfortunately, the person who pulled out in front of him died, and we are worried that even though this was cleared in the court papers, it may affect his chance of getting a visa.

They just want clarification on how you met and communicate which is pretty standard. The other situation would be revealed in his police report I would think. I haven't heard of them asking for court records in a case. If the court cleared him then it shouldn't be a problem.
