Help!! F2B under 221(g)

[204 59]

Greetings, 

 

I had immigrant visa interview (Category: F2B, DQ: Aug. 28, 2020, PD: Jun. 16, 2015) in Montreal on Jul. 22 morning. The CO asked me a lot of questions and the actual interview lasted about 10mins. After interview was done, he retained my PCCs & passport and I was given a white paper (221g marking - additional processing is required). All docs were good, he didn't need anything from me and medical result arrived couple days before my interview. He also said I should hear back from him within one week, which is today. So far, I still haven't any update in CEAC which still shows "Refused". 

 

I have U.S. B1/B2 visa and had frequent U.S. entries and exits; I'm holding Canadian PR in Canada; I also google my name & used name, it turned out both came back with something related to rocket & electronic technologies. 

 

Could anyone elaborate should it be a problem? What's the process of being 221(g)? Any experience?

 

Any input is highly appreciated!! 

 

Thank you in advance.

What, exactly, was the 221g for?  Was your medical at the consulate already at time of interview?

Sorry, I forgot to mention - no docs are required from me and medical arrived before my interview.

You said you were Canadian PR, what is your citizenship?

 

Good luck

I'm Chinese passport holder. I believe this's one of the reasons.

I would not take too much notice of the one week reply. Varies enormously.
