iam confused....

Hi Ken,

Sorry to hear about the 221(g) - it's been happening a lot lately with couples going thru New Delhi.

What exactly are they requesting for additional information? There should be a list on the 221(g). Please try and make sure you have everything listed or valid reasons for not having items listed. Were you present at the interview? Failure of the petitioner to be at the interview appears to be a common feature with those of us that have had the 221(g) issued.

From what has happened in the last few months it seems that the passports are returned in as little as 2-3 weeks up to 2-3 months. BUT, there are members here who have returned additional proof and have been waiting 6+ months too.

There is a form that can be filed if you need the passport back while the administrative processing in occuring - ask either VFS or the embassy.

If you are in India - I'd be at the embassy asking to speak with a CO, see if that helps.

I know that this entire process can suck and is very very frustrating. I can't imagine what it would be like to be away from your daughter for such a long time. There are many cases here of people who do hand in the reqested paperwork and they get the visa within a few weeks - so not all hope is lost. It's just another (annoying) hoop to jump thru. You are so close to the finish line in this, so don't give up!

I think I follow now - you are the husband and the beneficiary? And your wife is the petitioner and USC? I take it she was living with you for awhile recently in order to be able to apply as DCF? Was she at the interview?

Try to make the affidavits as thorough as possible - I don't think there is any harm in adding additional photos if you have them. Do either set of parents have an issue with the marriage? If not, having them make statements will be quick and easy. Just be honest and tell your story.

I am sorry about your situation. Please send in whatever the 221g requested exactly, and pray for the best. 221g's seem to be the favorite of New Delhi. If they have no other issues, then your visa should be issued shortly. I will keep you in my prayers.

Thanks 4 cooperating ....well yea my wife was here in india for 3 months for DCF...well she wasnt with me at the time of interview....USCIS told me that she can leave after petioning the case....well she went back coz our daughter is bak in US ,,,,my mother in law was takin care of her.....due to some reasons we couldnt get her passport...so my wife came alone to india,,.,,well im sooo frustated right now...im not gonna give up....well my wifes sending me the documents which we need to submit....I am gonna do tht soon....

But the problem is they are asking abt my voters ID card and last five years of voters list...

well i just got my voters ID card in begining of this year...and i dont have any records of voting of last five year....so im confused what should i say them about not having voters list....but i can show my voters ID card....

well in immigrant visa or DCF cases they take long to issue the visa...for 221g...do i have to go to embassy again for interview??

somebody told me tht in Immigrant visa cases they dont take long time to issue the visa....for 221g its a fast process for immigrant visa applicants....well....IM SUPER CONFUSED!!!

well heard lots of cases have 221g in new delhi...why is that....cmon..they dont beleive us or what......its been 1 yr and 6 months i been married..and...they still want my more realtionship proof..well thts seriously ridiculious...

They dont know how it feels to be away from your family and kids.....they should ammend some new laws abt this....

no i did not....

Does anyone know what are the chances of getting visa after 221g submission>??

[MrsRowe 2]

Unfortunately, real couples pay the price for fraud others have committed. It is unheard of for couples with children to be put through this kind of thing but the same thing happened with my husband. We were asked to do a DNA test for our daughter to prove that she is infact my husband's daughter. It is totally rediculous and it costs a lot of money but we are doing it. They do put your through a lot but that's because others have done the wrong thing but don't worry. It will be overy soon.

Don't worry about it, we are on a 221G as well. At least you know they are processing you ASAP as soon as you submit necessary items, for us we have to wait to hear from USEM.

I was also interview last Feb. 19, 2009-put on AR; but in my case i received a 221g form, no documents asked just saying that WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM US.. till now waiting and waiting!

[Fred N Emilia 0]

Jaybie3, did they check anything on your 221G?

Did they ask for anything or tell you what they need?

Jaybie3, did they check anything on your 221G?

nothing at all, as in only the 221g form signed by CO " WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM US". that's why i'm wondering why do they need me to put on AR/AP..
