Add'l Documents Required - 221(g) - timelines

[mhoney16 0]

Hi everyone - my husband had his CR1 interview on 08NOV and was asked to submit an additional police certificate document (state police document for Brasil, requested in addition to the federal police document). Today (09NOV), we couriered the requested document to the embassy + certified translations (following instructions) and have uploaded all docs to CEAC profile. 

 

Here are my questions:

1) does anyone have any recent experience with timelines to process + return passport after successfully couriering request documents? We are staying in London for this process but live in Mexico + I'm very pregnant so the window to travel home is closing in late November

2) in case the case does get 'stuck' for several weeks/months, what is the process to get back my partner's passport so we can return to Mexico for the birth? Is that even allowed? 

 

I also tried 3x joining the UK Spouses facebook group mentioned on this forum but no one has approved my request yet. Thanks for the help!

Any update on this? I'm also waiting for approval after sending in additional documents

If you ask they will send your passport back to you.  When I did this (also stuck in 221g but for different reasons) they said that my passport should have been returned to me.  I think either they are telling porky pies about this or not following their process properly.
