I've heard of one two immigrant visa 221(g)s so far from New Delhi. Why are you saying that there are a lot?

since about nov on almost every case is either in ap or denied even after the couples return what is asked for on the 221(g)

one couple was asked for something there was not way to get as it didnt happen it was only away to deny them in the end new dehli has not got a very good track record since about nov.

Welcome (?) to the "hellhole club" that previously included only the consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador. New Delhi will have to stoop very low in order to match the practices at Guayaquil.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

221g is not a rejection. It means they want you to submit more proof and then they will decide. It is frustrating because even after you have shown everything, they will still give you a 221g but It can be overcome and visas are granted in most cases where all the documents are submitted in time and the interview has gone well.

We can probably blame it on all the people who come to the US on any kind of visas and end up not going back some way or the other. My mom saw a family trying to get a tourist visa to visit cousins in the US and the plan was to go underground after they came here (they did not get the visa so the mother confessed to my mother that she was against the idea from the beginning) but guess what, the rest of us have to bear the consequences.

My advice - read the 221g carefully and go over what the interview was and submit what is asked and you should be able to overcome the 221g.

New Delhi and Indian applicants are just now getting looked at more closely. All of the unrest is causing them to do more security checks on everyone. It is not uncommon and like DanielParul said it is not an outright denial on the 221(g) it just means that you have missing or incomplete information, background checks are not completed, or they are wanting to verify the documentation and cannot issue the visa at the time of the interview.

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

Is true but unfortunately they don't necessarily review the documents before the interview and hand out a 221g sometimes to review them later. I hv seen where it has taken from a few days to a few months. I got a 221g and put on AR later coz they realised it was a mistake and took the 221g back the same day. My AR lasted 1 day and I got the visa. Just submit all the documents and check with the Consulate every week. It should not take too long as long as the documents are in order.
