So, initially my fiancee was denied. She was not given a reason or 221g, but suspect it had something to do with my income which was literally $24 lower than the poverty requirements because I was a full-time graduate student (although I did have my father sign a joint I-134) OR that her parents were members of the Chinese Communist Party, which shouldn't in theory be grounds for denial. I mention these two things, because that was what the line of questioning was during the interview.
She then asked for a second interview, and was granted one two weeks later. At that interview, her application was accepted - she submitted her passport at that time.
Nobody knows what this Application Received status means, unfortunately. It seems very new... this is forum is the only place I've seen any information about it. Will post when I hear back, hope others will too!
