221(g) in Abu Dhabi

[vadood 0]

Hi all,

I had my interview for K1 in abu dhabi today. They gave a refusal sheet with 221(g) checked in it. I do not understand what 221(g) means and there is no more explanation on the paper. But on the top of the form is written refusal worksheet.

The item they have checked for me also states that i need to wait for administrative processing. I asked the officer if it was a name check and she answered no.

She also kept pictures of me and my fiancee together.

Would someone please help me? What is the situation now, and what does this 221g mean?

I had my interview yesterday and also got 221g form saying need further processing. They kept my immigration papers. It is as if they are asking formally that they do not know what to do and need to consult with senior.

Hope Ap ends very soon.

Yes, there is more explanation on the paper. They checked the box for administrative processing. That is the entire answer and explanation. What it means is further security checks. It can take from two weeks to several months. It's to be expected from this part of the world. I little preparatory reading would have prepared you to be expecting exactly this.

Of course I was expecting securoty checks, but the odd thing for me which i did not expect was that they our pictures! I also asked the CO if it was the name check and she told no.

I wonder if everybody on a security check gets a 221g refusal notice.

AP for someone from Iran is not unusual. Hopefully you will hear something soon and be united with your SO. Good luck and hang in there. Also after about two weeks you can call DOS and try to get an update.

Almost 7 months have passed and there is no update from the embassy. All what they say -through emails we have sent- is "it is undergoing routine administrative processing".

We have asked congressman's office to inquire and the embassy has responded them with the exact same answer.

We are really tired and frustrated. They are supposed to give an answer, it is either yes or no.

We can not wait all our life for the embassy, is there anything else one can do?

Sorry to say but no. AP takes as long as AP takes and nothing can speed it up. I suggest you find a good hobby or a friend who is a good listener.

Hoping you hear something soon.
