Sounds like a pretty easy fix on your part. Obtain the documents as soon as possible and turn them in with a copy of the letter to the embassy and you should be approved with no problems. Good luck!  

I was given the same white paper after my interview on the 7th December 2018. The only difference is that I was asked to submit the required documents along with my passport at dhl office. On this white paper, it wasn't ticked to submit it with his passport, so I think after submitting his required documents, it will be reviewed first and when its okay, he will be asked to submit his passport as well.

I was asked for a joint sponsor and am still yet to have one, its about a month now, I just pray I get a joint sponsor before the end of January.

Also, when I checked my case status today, it has been changed from cr1 to ir1 since my marriage is above 2 years.

What does the letter say other then what is required. Does it give instructions to where you are to send the documents? Is it state anywhere in the letter the term "221(g)"? If you have the means to post a copy of the letter WITHOUT your personal information maybe someone can give you a more exact answer. We don't have much to go on with just what is in your post. Thanks.

So sorry you are yet to find a joint sponsor. Yes his passport was given back to him and wasnt ticked which to me is not s good sign but we are still gathering the required documents, had the first 2 a day after his interview but his divorce certificate is just where the problem is

Thanks AMY. Do you think if I submit the tax transcript by march it will be late? I heard embassy gives a grace of 1 year to submit the required documents asked.

Another issue I have is that during last year, my wife's household were 6 because she has 2 dependant, but thus year, the dependant is one and the household is reduced to 5 and with the 5, we don't need joint sponsor anymore cos we met poverty guideline for 5. Since I will be submitting my aos sometime February, do you think I can still use tax transcript of 2017 or 2018? Thanks.

Oh thanks so much, if that is the case, then my issue is solved. I just need to wait for my wife to file 2018 tax transcript to indicate that the dependant is now one and not 2 anymore, then the household will be 5 not 6, and probably a new i164 affidavit of support form to change the household size, then submit my 2017 tax transcript.

The IRS transcript website is not functioning do to the Government shutdown. When you get closer to your filing/interview then check again otherwise be prepared to send a copy of the 1040 for 2017 and 2018. And yes you will need a new I-134 to reflect the current population in your family.

Hi , I have submitted my required documents after interview to dhl on the 25th of January. Embassy did not notify me if my documents have been received, though 2 days later after submitting the docs, my status was updated and till date, it has not been updated, so how can I be sure the embassy have received my docs?

Also, a friend of mine got his visa issued just 3 days after submitting the required docs, and from administrative processing, it changed to issued. Am just surprised mine haven't been issued or do they want extra documents from me? Please can anyone share idea on this issue? Thanks.

AP Explained

 

Some visa applications require further administrative processing, which takes additional time after the visa applicant’s interview by a consular officer. Applicants are advised of this requirement when they apply. Most administrative processing is resolved within 60 days of the visa interview. When administrative processing is required, the timing will vary based on the individual circumstances of each case. Your mileage may vary.
 

When the Embassy is ready to issue a visa, it will change to "Nonimmigrant Visa Application"; at that time, you will know that you are a few days away from getting the visa. It will go from "Immigrant Visa Application" to "Nonimmigrant Visa Application" status and then your visa changes to "Ready" ==> "Administrative Processing" ==>> "Issued" status as well. These steps sometimes transpire over a day or even a few days. Some smaller Embassy's it happens within hours.
 
Sometimes, it might skip "Administrative Processing" and go from "Ready" to "Issued". You must continue waiting. It will happen.
