blue slip 221(g)

[G&Mhk 1]

My wife's interview was July 16 here in HK. They gave her a blue slip 221(g) requesting 2 additional documents: a new CENOMAR and letter from my employer here about my job transferring to the US (related to domicile).

The new CENOMAR was delivered to the US Consulate on July 22. The consulate called my wife and said to tell me to just get the letter and that this week was okay.

The status on the CEAC went from "ready" after the interview to "administrative processing" today.

is this normal? I expected it in a way since there is still one document outstanding.

How much time do I have before they send this case back to the US? I am assuming I'll get a letter from my employer this week.

I have other ways to prove domicile if I have to do that but the woman on the phone told my wife to just get the letter since that's all they requested from me.

I am really freaking out now.

Ok...dont freak out but be more specific. Since they requested a CENOMAR I'm assuming that your wife is filipina working in Hong Kong...and if she's gotten that then one down. Your next questions of "when will they send your case back" makes no sense. You have up to a year to fulfill the 221(g) requirements and if not then your case goes abandoned...never being sent back. The only reason for the embassy to "send back" an applicant is if they assert that the USCIS shouldn't have approved it in the first place...so...relax...and get them the employment letter ASAP....and yes...it is normal to go from READY to AP after an interview with outstanding documents....good luck.

Yes, she is.

I don't have a letter. The company's plans for the U.S. changed. I will just submit everything I can to prove domicile in my case.
