Doesn't sound like a 221(g) case, sounds like AP (additional processing) Which seems to take anywhere from 2-8 weeks judgeing from what I read.

Moved to correct forum - K-1 to 221g

In many consulates you DO get a 221(g) for AP. Many mark that as the disposition with notes stating nothing more is needed at this time and that they will get back to you. Additionally, you can get a 221(g) requesting more information. And, you can get a denial with the case being sent back to the US also showing 221(g).

Read what the paperwork states - we've even had members scan [and black out the appropriate personal information] to get advice on what their 221(g) meant.

If the officer stated that everything was ok and they just need time, then you can assume the visa applicant is in AP/AR - they may be doing name checks, verifying documentation, etc.

What does the paperwork say?

I am sorry this happened to you. But remember this is common nowadays. AP is the same as 221g, they issue a 221g to conduct the additional processing. As they said they don't need additional documents, it is just name checks and backround/traveling history. This can take from 1 week to over 1 year. With women and people outside of the Middle East, India, Pakistan, APs are much shorter. I would not worry too much, but would call DOS (Department of State) at 1-202-663-1225, dial 0 then 1 (or the other way around, you will hear choices) and give them the case number to know updates about the case. Be patient about this and soon the visa will be issued, remember these cases rarely get denied because they issued the AP/221g to do additional processing to issue the visa.

God bless,

Tam

Been there, done that...........

Usually takes about a few weeks to a few months or even years.

Ours took 10 weeks. But varies by country and necessary checks and docs.

Hang in there.
