Hey everyone. I'm joining all of you here now. First it was the K1 forum, then the NVC forum, then the Embassy forum... now the 221g forum, sadly.

So I had my interview on Jan 2nd and got a 221(g). The Consular Officer said he wants more evidence about a trip I tried to go on. I tried to go to the US on a tourist visa, in November of 2005, and did not mention David at the time. So now this came back to bite me in the a##. I'm so frustraded that it's not over yet. All I want is to fly home to be with my baby.

Now I have to call them and schedule an appointment so I can hand them all I have about this trip and then, hopefully, get my passport with my visa!

Any story, advice, help, word... is more than welcome! I just need to talk and hear from people going through something like this. Actually, I think I just need a shoulder.

I hope all of you reading this can get your visas soon. (F)

OUR COMPLETE TIMELINE

Latest steps:

10/26/2006- Consulate receives case (seriously, one month to receive the case?? BS!), and packet 3 that I sent even before they had received the case.

01/23/2007- Second Interview. VISA granted!!!

01/29/2007- VISA arrived.... no envelope though. I'm gonna contact them and see what happened this time!

01/31/2007- I'll have to send them one last financial support evidence.

02/01/2007- Evidence sent

02/02/2007- Evidence received by Consulate

02/06/2007- Consulate sends envelope!

02/07/2007- Envelope received!!!

That REALLY sucks! Are they saying that you hid something from them when you got the tourist visa, or what? I wouldn't have offered up info about your fiance if they hadn't asked specifically. It kills me the piddly reasons they will find to prolong this already long and difficult process.

Sorry to hear that Marcela. It sounds like it's something that can be resolved pretty quickly though once you're able to schedule an appointment. Will you be able to get one quickly?

Hang in there! (F)

Jenn, I hope I can get an appointment soon. Everything was so right and I had every pice of evidence they could ever ask for, or so I thought! But somehow they found a way to make me wait to be happy. :(

Now all I want is to be straight forward, and to the point. I want to get as much information as I can about this 221(g) and provide them with as much as I can, so there's no way they can make me wait again.

Plese everyone, keep sending me your good thoughts.

I assumed you received tourist visa and visited US.

Now, regarding that 212g, what kind of proof they were asking from you and what kind of evidence/information you are thinking of submitting ?

It is a very serious issue. Probably you might want to discuss with lawyer first about your evidence and get opinion - that is the first thing comes to mind.

Hope you have it resolved soon ! Good luck
