I am a frome morocco and my wife applied CR1 visa . my interview was yesterday at casablanca embassy. The consulate gave me wighte paper but it was under 221 (g) .this office regrets to inform you that it is unable to issue a visa to you because you have benn found ineligible to recieve a visa under the section 221g of the immigration and nationality act the information contained in the paragrapghs

section 221g which prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone whose application does not comply with the provisions of the immigration and nationality act or regulations issued pursuant thereto the following remarks apply in your case

we will return your application and petition to the department of homeland security united states citizenship and immigration service any further inquiries regarding application

Can anyone tell me what this means? how long approx will this additional processing take? Please let me know if any of u have similiar case. Thanks

WHO CAN INFLUENCE THE CONSULAR OFFICER TO REVERSE A DECISION?

Immigration law delegates the responsibility for issuance or refusal of visas to consular officers overseas. They have the final say on all visa cases. By regulation the U.S. Department of State has authority to review consular decisions, but this authority is limited to the interpretation of law, as contrasted to determinations of facts. The question at issue in such denials, whether an applicant possesses the required residence abroad, is a factual one. Therefore, it falls exclusively within the authority of consular officers at our Foreign Service posts to resolve. An applicant can influence the post to change a prior visa denial only through the presentation of new convincing evidence of strong ties.

there was another fella in casablanca, this week, had the exact same thing happen to him.

He's writing about it here.

Suggest you find his topics, and read all of the responses and replies, then maybe even meet up with him, plan some 'what to do' soonish.

let me know if you can't find his posts. or click here -> http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=user_activity&mid=108372 to find all of his stuff.

It's a great idea for these two gentlemen to meet and compare notes--there may not be a common thread, but if there is it could be an immense help to both of them and future people going thru Casablanca

Casablanca is a very very tough consulate. Going in to that consulate without being prepared properly is asking to be denied. There is a very high fraud rate in Morocco, so they are harder than other consulates.

I started a thread that discusses how difficult Casablanca is, maybe it might help you both: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/291886-the-hoping-not-to-be-denied-at-casablanca-thread/

The common thread is Casabanca. They refuse almost everyone. One day they refuse the female spouse of a man from US but said her baby could come here.
