What did your status say? I think it's best to call up your embassy to confirm directly. As it's been months since then.

Your birth certificate from PSA has been delivered to the embassy, you are now waiting for your case file to be processed?

221g can add weeks to the waiting process, after the embassy receives the requested documents. Be patient.

Butterfinger: It says administrative processing

Hank_: I was just worried because I don't have any idea if they have received it or if everything is doing ok...

Your brought a copy of the 221g to PSA and then PSA delivered the BC to the embassy?

Have you checked your dashboard for status updates?

Hank_: What happened was that the psa told the embassy that i was not registered. so the embassy was asking for a waiver as to why i was not registered which in fact i was registered. the psa did not looked into it thoroughly. so instead of sending them a waiver i sent my birth certificate that i have acquired here in our place. now i have checked the dashboard updates and it just states that document delivery information. because a few days back i changed my document delivery address. if i check the website ceac.state.gov it says administrative processing. and it was updated last may 16,2016.

Your sending a copy of you birth certificate from the local registry is not going to fix the issue, If PSA is having issue finding your BC then maybe go to the local registry where you were born and have them submit another copy to PSA. Or find out the problem as to why your BC isn't showing up in PSA records.

The document must come from PSA, either a BC or the waiver. If this doesn't happen I don't see the visa being issued.
