hopefully is only 221g, asking for more info, and not some NOID.

Not enough info Phil. Is this a "We are sending this back to USCIS denial" or is it a "221g denial" which means they need further information?

If it is a "We sent this back to USCIS denial" then you will need to learn the specific reason it was denied, correct the reason (if possible) and re-file the petition, with a waiver if necessary. Is there any reason she would be inadmissible that you know of?

Sorry to hear this, let us know what you learn.

To the best of my knowledge they never do an out and out denial. I think what she got was a 221-G which is technically an "Intent do Deny". They will furnish a reason for the intent to deny and you have 30 days to disprove the reason for denial. They will likely want more evidence that the marriage is bonifide and not an immigration scam. Usually a 221-G can be resolved. If you have not provided enough evidence in that 30 days the procedure was and probably still is that the application is returned to the USA and you can appeal it there but that is usually much more difficult. I think you will be ok so don't panic.

12/14/2006 Applied for K-1 with request for Waver for Multiple filings within 2 years.
Waiting - Waiting - Waiting

I agree, I'm sure there was more information in past threads but this from his timeline:

11/27/2012 - Interview date

In AP.

01/15/2013- Call from Embassy

03/15/2013 - Visa Denied

Shows that there is something very different about their case. I can't remember but maybe the OP can give us the Cliff Notes version to refresh out memories. Interview back in November and then AP and then a call and now in March......not a typical case for sure. Hope the OP understands that and knows about what it may be.

I might have jumped the gun. This is a copy of the letter that was returned with my wife's documents.

Section 221g of the Immigration and Nationality act (INA) prohibits a consular officer from issuing a visa to an alien if the c onsular officer has reason to believe that the alien is ineligible. Based on indications that petition (BAC-1290687077) contains inaccurate information, we are returning it to the Bureau of Citizenship and immigration Services (USCIS) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for review and possible revocation. If CIS determines that the information we are providing constitutes sufficient foundation for initiating revocation proceedings, you will be sent a notice of intent to revoke that includes a statement of the facts and evidence, and you will have the opportunity to respond . Under INA 222 f , which addresses the confidentiality of visa records, we are unable to provide any futher detail.

Still vague but many times these are re-affirmed and returned to the consulate for a new interview.

Unless you can think of something that is inaccurate in the petition

Yep she was denied. The file is being sent back for revocation. Most likely they think your relationship is not legit.

To me it sounds like they think it was some misrepresentation about your wife in petition package or during interview. Try to think together with your wife what it could be - anything from her life that was in petition package or in answers during interview, about what consular officer could think is not truth. Feel very sorry for you, but it really sounds like they denied petition.

Or.....there is something in your wife's past that is coming around to muck up the works?

Past marriages, not properly divorced? Past visa attempts? Previous spouse is also presently attempting to obtain a visa? (We've seen that coincidence.)

Something is making them believe she can not be issued a visa. I don't think misrepresentation but more she is not eligible.
