  1. What does a 221g refusal mean?

    We initially refuse most immigrant visa applicants under section 221g of the immigration and nationality act. There is usually no need to worry. It is almost always a temporary refusal.

    What is Section 221g?

    Section 221g simply says that we cannot issue your visa until we are sure you are qualified for the visa in everyway. With immigrant visas, we almost never know on the day of the interview whether you are truly qualified. So, we will need some time to verify this. Sometimes, we need you to give us additional documents or information. We will let you know in writing what we need.

    What is Administrative Processing?

    Many cases require administrative processing. Each case is handled individually, so we cannot predict exactly how long it will take. However, we will try to give you an estimated time at the interview. We ask that you not contact us to check your case status until the estimated time has passed.

    Will you still issue my visa?

    We end up issuing almost all cases that we refuse under section 221g. As soon as we determine that you are qualified, we will overcome the refusal under Section 221g and issue the visa.

    If you will issue anyway, why do you refuse in the first place?

    The law requires us to adjudicate (issue or refuse) every case on the day of the application. Since we usually are not yet prepared to issue, we must first refuse. We will not overcome every single persons 221g refusal. For example, if we ask you to provide a birth certificate or additional proof of your relationship and you do not give it to us within one year your case will remain in refused status. Finally, if we discover that you are not eligible for the visa for some other reason we will also refuse you under the new appropriate section of the law.

  2. a 221g is not a denial. Its a temporary denial. So they are doing further investigation which in other words is called Administrative processing. Check you status update daily on www.ceac.state.gov. There you will find her status. GIve it some time. And in the meantime, try to contact your local congressman to help you get answers from the consulate directly and request for an extension so that while its processing under further investigation it wont be expired. It can be extended for an additional 4 months.

  3. I feel your pain. We were also denied under 221g. And its still u der administrative processing. His interview was aug 6. I called my senator and congressman office they said they will help with my case. I also sent a letter to the president, but no call yet... lol

    I also spoke with several immigration lawyers and and some said wait at least 2 months and get married and refile under cr1.

    This process is so painful. So i totally understand
