I just found out earlier today that my Fiancee ACTUALLY got 221g but she said its just because she has to send her passport back to Jamaica via DHL to the embassy to get her Visa stamped. The 221g was a standard form and had a bunch of document names in a list with check boxes but nothing was checked so i guess whats not checked is not needed. The only thing that was checked was a box that said please mail passport to and the embassy address. She said the CO didnt say the word approved or denied he just told her at the end (YOUR FLYING BACK TO CAYMAN OH LET ME HELP YOU GET OUT OF HERE). He then instructed her to go to the DHL window and pay but make sure to tell them its for immigrant visa because its a different price and theres a lot of documents they will have to send back to her. He also told her she can mail the passport as soon as she returns to cayman. She returned to Cayman with a self addressed DHL envelope from the consulate going from Cayman to the embassy and then from the embassy back to Cayman.

My question are...

Is that normal to give 221g for just because by default of where she lives she has to mail her passport in for the stamp?

And has anyone else here been to a Visa interview in another country because the country where you live didnt have an embassy or consulate and you have to mail in the passport like she has to, if so were you issued 221g for this?

Does anyone think this 221g is just a technicality because she hasnt given her passport yet although she did take it to interview with her.

It is because she needed her passport to go back to Cayman. Had she waited in Jamaica she could have just picked up her visa later. Seems as though she is approved but couldn't wait and needed her passport back to go home.

This is correct but i didnt think this is reason enough to issue a 221g is it??

BTW: thank you for responding and trying to help me out!

221g is the form that is used when there is something needed for the visa to be issued. In this case (as you have pointed out) the passport could not be left at the embassy. Hence the documentation was created requesting the passport. That documentation is called a 221g.

It's just a form. As with any 221g simply respond as requested and processing continues. Processing in this instance is affixing the visa to the passport page.

Of course it is. They MUST have the passport to issue the visa (it is printed in the passport) and she was leaving and needed to take it with her. Now she has to send it back so they can print the visa and send the passport back to her a few days later.

The 221g is just an official reminder to send her passport back
