US Embassy Kuala Lumpur Cr-1 221(g)

[Huda Sami 0]

Hello.

My husband had his interview on September 20th. They handed him a 221g form under administrative processing. They asked for school transcripts and his resume. We provided the documents right away and then they contacted us said that the case was now in administrative processing. 
 

My husband has a masters degree in Applied Chemistry. We provided all his transcripts (he only studied textile industry, and pharmaceuticals) he also worked for a American Pharmaceutical company since 2020. He has not travelled anywhere aside from traveling from Karachi Pakistan to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia because we transferred his case.

 
 

if anyone has similar experience please advise.

This is pretty normal. Male from Pakistan, Applied Chemistry... None of those help in the eyes of US authorities. Not that he's done anything wrong, he's just perceived a higher risk.

Pakistanis undergo additional security checks for a few reasons.   You just have to wait.

Yep, agreed. Pakistan and Chemistry = double whammy and he was pretty much guaranteed to be put in to AP.
