We had our long awaited visa appointment today and were denied under 221g. My fiancé was involved in a (stupid) bar fight a few years ago and was arrested. He was let go with no charges, and it was hard to even find information about it at all when we were gathering documents, and now they want more. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? How long does it usually take to process if we find and send in the documents on Monday? He is from the Dominican Republic so if anyone has any direct experience with that embassy that would be great. Thank you in advance.

We got a 221g denial for a missing police clearence, however my fiance has never been arrested or in trouble with the law. We had our interview on April 27th but unlike you we didn't send the clearence and passport until June 2 or 3 because the clearence took a long time to get to us. They started processing us on June 9th and again on June 10th showing our CEAC statuses as AP. However due to the technical problem our case got held up because they couldn't print visas. They started processing us again on the 24th (a day after Ankara started working again) and changed our CC date from December 8th, 2014 to June 24th, 2015. Our status was also changed to ready and the visa went from immigrant to non immigrant. Now as of April 25th we are in AP again, but I heard that just means the visa is being printed but I am not sure.

Hi icechamp-

Have you received your visa yet or are you still waiting? We turned in the documents they asked for a month or so after the interview date and not the CEAC website says August 19th. I'm curious to know how yours is going. Thanks.
