husband given 221g at interview (split topic)

[NotwdwMorocco 13]

My husband had his interview today. He was given the white 221g. No boxes were checked. The only item highlighted was admin review. Before the letter was given to him the officer collected all the documents he brought with him and returned to him all the documents I originally sent. My husband answered every question honestly and correctly. The officer said many times in the interview I don't believe you because he has been married before. The strangest question asked was if me and my sister fight. When he asked what he should do because this paper doesn't state anything he was told by the officer wait for an email with things I need from you. He asked the officer what should I tell my wife. He replied the same thing I told you. We are beyond disappointed and are extremely disappointed and have been crying all day. I have reached out to a lawyer and the senator to see if anything can be done. Does anyone have any advice? Does anyone have any knowledge of this happening to others? Should we be concerned? Do you think this will be denied? Any help is appreciated.

Sorry to hear about this negative experience. Did the officer tell him that any documents were missing ("wait for an email with things I need from you")? 

 

Being put under administrative processing is very common in Morocco, and can last up to many months. Are there any red flags in the relationship that could cause the officer to pause when reviewing the case? Large age differences are a big one in Morocco in particular. How much time have you spent together with him in person? 

 

Edit: I saw in another post of yours that your husband was issued the DS-5535 to complete. This is a common new document that is often requested in Morocco. It's taking about 2-4 months on average for them to review cases where a DS-5535 was submitted. All you can do at this point is wait.

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached.

i didn't look at timeline

but a 221g is a usually denial as they did not ask for additional documents
