Thanks but I don't believe this.... I'm not in denial but I don't believe this at all. All cases are different

giving back the passport does not mean anything bad. Sometimes, they give back the passport then they will call him and ask for the passport for visa isuance. hope your husband will gt his visa soon. keep faith. do not listen to any negative comments.
Good Luck.

What did the G221 say on it? Where there boxes checked? Did the consulate officer that did your interview say anything at the end about when they would call you?

It depends, there isn't a set timeframe for reviewing. For me, it took 8 days. It can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. 
 
Check your visa status on CEAC - when it says "At NVC" you most likely have a CC. 
 
Good luck!

Now it is taking 11 weeks after scan date to review documents and if everything is ok then you will get CC. Time of interview may varies country to country. You can check other VJ member's of your country to get an idea about interview time frame.

Our son's case, IR-2 took 9 weeks for Case complete. Scan Date: 6/26. CC: 8/28. Called NVC today and still waiting for the interview date.

You will get an email from the NVC with your case number and invoice number. Nothing in the mail. 

It takes about 2 weeks from when the USCIS status changes to sent to NVC. Ours was approved on 04/01, status changed on 04/12 and we got our case number on 04/26.
 
Try calling in about a week or so, see if they assigned a case number after they received it.

They won't concern themselves with such things as ignoring those irrelevant issues is part of their training.  Those who think the CO's don't consider the filing status because they don't understand the tax code are dead wrong.  They may not understand the entire tax code, but they are actually trained to ignore filing status, because they DO understand WHY married petitioners in spouse visa cases file as single.  Understanding it, is WHY they know it isn't relevant, well, that and they are told as much as part of their training.

...is a part of my signature for good reason.    Again, this is a discussion of immigration relevant matters, NOT tax advice.
 
 
 
 

Finally a good clear answer WHY I filed my taxes with "Single" status. It is not my problem that I can't put NRA in the SSN field doing taxes online. My accountant did it this way. I will amend it later (and I HAVE A RIGHT to do so). Why would the CO even think about it in the entire case is perfect?

I didn't say otherwise, but let's be honest, these applications have a ton of paperwork and documentation. The CO is going to focus on some key items. Tax filing status is not one of them. Even if they noticed the person filed as single, they're probably not going to take the time to determine if a taxpayer can file as a single person if they're actually married, especially when there is so much other evidence demonstrating the couple is in fact married. 
 
The COs job is to review a visa application, not ensure someone is doing his/her taxes right. Unless there is other evidence that indicates the applicant is not married, I can't imagine the tax return would be the cause for a rejection. But hey, if I'm wrong and there are stories here on VJ that say otherwise, I'm all ears.
 
Anyway, the OP got his answer from the NVC. Sounds like he should be fine. 
 
 
 

Actually, as I've already stated, CO's actually do know about this and see single status returns from married people every day.   They know why, and it's not an immigration issue.  Whether they actually bother to NOTICE this non-issue every time, I could't say.  I mean, why bother to look for something they already know is not an issue.  Curiosity?  Maybe.

I called the NVC office and it's no problem. They said that my filing status has nothing to do with my immigration petition, so anything about taxes, I should Call the IRS. So, I rest my case. Thanks to you, Sir.
