First a Little Basic 101 on the 221(g):

The document issued by the Department of State under Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is for the most part used for requesting additional information from the beneficiary such as missing documents, additional evidence, or advising them of not being able to issue their visa due to pending name/security checks i.e. Administrative Processing or Administrative Review. However, Section 221(g) is also used by the Department of State when returning petitions/applications to the USCIS for further review ultimately recommending revocation.

Why are Petitions/Applications Returned to the USCIS by an Embassy/Consulate Under Section 221(g)?

Petitions/applications are returned for a variety of case specific reasons. Returning a petition/application to the USCIS means that the embassy/consulate refuses to issue a visa to the beneficiary, but they do not have specific evidence to actually deny a visa application. So the next best thing to do is return the petition/application to the USCIS office where the petition was originally filed requesting further review and ultimately recommending revocation.

What Happens When a Petition/Application is Returned to the USCIS by an Embassy/Consulate?

221(g) is issued to beneficiary at conclusion of the interview stating the application and/or petition is being returned to the United States.

Petition is returned to the United States by the interviewing consulate for "further review" in what is called a diplomatic pouch.

Returned petition is received by the NVC. It is reviewed and entered into the fraud database by fraud management.

Returned petition is sent to the local USCIS service center where the petition was originally filed and approved.

Local service center receives returned petition.

Local service center who processed the original petition sends a notice of receipt to the petitioner.

Local service center reviews the returned petition and consular officer notes on the case.

Local service center then sends either a NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny) or NOIR (Notice of Intent to Revoke) to the petitioner also asking for more proof of the relationship, many cases have specific consular objections to rebut.

Petitioner is given 30-60 days from date of NOIR/NOID (depending on the service center) to respond with additional evidence of the relationship or other specific evidence. The timeframe to respond will be provided in the letter.

Local service center receives evidence...if in the timeframe given (30-60 days) the case is reviewed and either original approval is reaffirmed or the petition is officially denied.

If the petition is denied the local service center sends the petitioner an 'official' denial letter. This can be officially appealed if the denial letter states such.

If the petition is reaffirmed the local service center sends the petitioner an official notice of reaffirmation.

Local service center sends the reaffirmed petition AND its evidence provided in the rebuttal directly to the consulate along with a recommendation to issue a visa.

Consulate notifies the beneficiary of a new interview date.

Beneficiary has interview for the reaffirmed petition and the visa is either issued, or the case in placed in Administrative Processing which after cleared a visa is issued, or worst case scenario it is denied via Section 221(g) and returned again to the USCIS with a recommendation for revocation.

What can you do immediately when faced with this issue:

First and foremost, contact a good immigration attorney.

Immediately have the beneficiary send a scanned copy of the 221(g) issued.

Contact the consulate directly (immediately) and attempt to have the petition reviewed by the senior consular before it is returned.

If you are unable to get through to the consulate on the phone, contact them via email, and if you're mail has a "read verification" use it.

Contact your congressman/senator, get them involved immediately. You will need to sign a release form giving them permission to make an inquiry on your behalf.

Provide your congressman/senator with as much information as possible about your case, the interview, and the result.

If your congressman/senator is top notch, they will not just send an email or letter to the consulate, they will call on the phone and try to get the petition reviewed again before it is sent back.

If they are not successful, they can request the diplomatic pouch number the petition is being returned in. This number will allow you to track the petition until it is received by the local service center.

To track a returned petition/application with a pouch number, you can contact the Diplomatic Pouch Service in Washington:

Diplomatic Pouch Service: 202-663-1588

If you do not know who your congressman/senator is, use the following links to find out who represents your area:

US Congressional Representatives (By State)

US Senators (By State)

If the petition is returned, you are in for a wait. The diplomatic pouch the petition is returned in is sent from embassy to embassy picking up other returned petitions along the way. It could take up to 2 or 3 months for it to be received by fraud management at the NVC...then the NVC has the petition for about 1 month before sending it to the local service center where it was originally filed. One thing to also know is that returned petitions do not take priority...they are reviewed in the order they are received, that is after new petitions have been processed.

What You Can Do in the Meantime While You Wait:

Continue contacting the consulate to get an actual reason for the return...not the blanket "validity of relationship" response.

Stay in contact with your congressman/senator, they can assist you in getting the actual reason for denial.

Immediately file a Freedom Of Information Act request for the Department of State asking specifically for the consular notes on your returned petition: DOS FOIA

Immediately file for a Freedom of Information Act request for the USCIS asking for the same specific consular notes on your returned petition: USCIS FOIA

Continue to document your relationship, emails, letters, phone bills, visits to their country, etc.

Be ready for the opportunity to rebut the consular findings.

Contact a good immigration attorney as suggested above...preferably one who has experience in returned and denied petitions.

After a period of 6 months or longer has passed and you do not hear anything from the local service center regarding the receipt of your return, or the results of the review, you can contact the CIS Ombudsman. While the Ombudsman cannot make the USCIS reaffirm your returned petition, they can assist when processing times are outside of guidelines

USCIS OMBUDSMAN

Now, there are some differences between returned fiancé petitions and marriage petitions. The K1 is especially at risk due to the expiration of the original approval, many returned K1s are not given the opportunity to rebut, they receive a notice telling them their K1 has expired and may file again at any time...this is why the FOIA is so important. You need to know the exact reason the petition was returned, just filing again is a huge risk if you do not know why the petition was returned in the first place.

While the K3 does have an expiration date also, they are treated more seriously. I have not known anyone who has had a returned K3 not being given the opportunity to rebut. Obviously the CR1 does not expire. Still, it is very important to file the FOIA, not every service center will tell you exactly what the consular office findings or objections to issuing the visa are. Some people are only asked to provide more evidence of their relationship.

thanks that is a great post ... very helpful

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

Marrying is no guarentee of a visa, expecially after you have had trouble at Lagos. As your K1 has been bouncing about for a bit you can actually file another one under the presumption that the first one is expired and front load it to cover all the problem areas that the embassy was claiming on the first one. This eliminates the wait for CSC to declare the first petition dead.

NigeriaorBust, as you are aware of our situation, I am the petitioner of this k1 visa and I am not sure I understand what you are saying? Yes our K1 has been bouncing about so much the last eight months and the first one was filed in April of 2010. Therefore, if I understand you correctly then I should file a new K1 for us? If so, I don't have to wait for the NOID?

On behalf of my fiance and myself, please accept our appreciation for all your thoughts and help!

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

You are a K1 filer who went through CSC and your petition's approval is more than 4 months old. There is a high probablitily that is you wait for a NOID all you will get in about 6 months is a letter saying your petition has expired and you are free to file again. ( Not a NOID and no real imformation on the written reason for rejection ) ( Been here done this ) So you must first decide if you are going to wait on a trip to Nigeria and marry there and try for a CR1 or try another K1. We decided on the second K1 and filed while the first one was back in CSC hands. We fron loaded the new one and it was on its way to Lagos before we got the sorry your K1 has expired on the first one.

Oh I see, so I did understand you correctly about the K1 visa filing again, that is a new option. I am planning another trip within the next few months...which is better route K1 or CR1 which is faster. Either way, I am going to file again.

Thanks for your suggestion.

For those of you who don't know our situation let me share this with you all. First of all I want to say to all the petitioners and beneficiaries. This road is a long one and one never knows what they will encounter along the way.

My fiance, bless his heart, is very rightfully upset with the outcome we had to end up with. Why you ask? well let me tell you what our story is and I hope to receive help and support which is welcomed.

I filed K1 in April of 2010, sent in all the documentation needed and we were approved and our petition was forwarded to Nigerian Embassy in Lagos. My fiance was asked to come in for his interview in Nov. of 2010 and he did with the police report and his medical plus all the documentation he needed to take with him to this interview. Keep in mind we did not know anything about VJ and I did our documents on my own to the best of our knowledge. He went in and after the interview he was placed on AP, as he indicated for 51/2 months. Meanwhile, we did email the embassy and all we got was the standard email saying do not contact until you are notified. I finally had it and called my congressman in mid April and they made an inquiry on our behalf, two days after the email was sent out from the congressman's office, my fiance received an email with an appointment for a second interview, scheduled on June 27th. In this email he was asked to return but nothing was asked of him. No documents, no passport nothing. Just to return at 1pm.

On June 27th he went in and they asked him few questions, which he answered correctly, and he was told he was denied and that the visa will be returned and recommended for refusal. He had phone records, emails, and more documents I had sent him, which was not even looked at or bothered with.

He called me with this news. I had him send me the questions which he was asked at the interview and I immediately contacted my congressman's office and faxed over the list of the questions and the letter they gave him. I sent in a letter to my state senator as well.

Within few days my fiance was called again and asked when will be a convenient time for him to return to the embassy? and they both decided on Monday of this week. Meanwhile, I sent him Affidavits from my father giving his blessing to the two of us, and two letters from my best friends stating that they have been in contact with my fiance for the last two and half years and have spoken with him on the phone. I had a letter written by my 15yrs. daughter supporting our relationship and how having my fiance in my life has brought so much happiness in my life and that she is in personal contact with him over phone, fb and emails.

My fiance had a letter from his dad giving us his blessing, his older brother, whom I have met expressing his thoughts about our relationship, and his best friend acknowledging our relationship and the fact him and I talk on the phone often, keep in touch via emails and fb.

This along with new phone records, emails, text messages and a new letter of intent from me, with an attentive wedding date and place where we would have the wedding.

With all this the CO asked him 24 questions which he answered all correctly. My fiance sent me the list with the answers he gave the CO.

During the interview on Monday, even before my fiance began the interview the CO had the denial letter ready to go. But when my fiance said he will not accept the letter for our relationship is real and we love one another and he wanted to be with me next week when it is my birthday.

The Congressman's office left the interview twice and then came back and gave my fiance another slip saying he is back on AP. When my fiance called me with this news, I immediately called DOS and they confirmed it to be true.

The next morning, the embassy called my fiance yet again and told him over the phone his visa is denied and the petition will be returned to the US to my local USCIS office.

Our petition bounced every which way since November. If the intention was to deny from the start they should of done so. But they decided to use every card they can on us.

My being born in Iraq became an issue, our age difference became an issue, my being divorced became an issue, him never being married became an issue. ALL THE RED FLAGS WERE HANGING FROM THE TOP OF THE US EMBASSY IN LAGOS WITH OUR NAME ON IT!!!!

Ultimately, when all is said and done this whole visa journey has become a joke, my fiance had three interviews. I speak for both of us, when I say we are both in this to stay, we love each other and we were devastated. I have gotten many wonderful advices from the few VJ members whom I have been in contact through emails. We will move past this experience to the next step, but with caution and more knowledge of how much more we need to be prepared.

No one is above the decision of the CO. We are in a great deal of pain as it is, so both of us would appreciate constructive opinions and thoughts.

Your thoughts are welcomed and prayers even more.

LoveNigarmostyle: What a roller coaster you have been on!! I feel for you! I pray that your fiance is approved soon and that you two can be together.

Bassey has his K-1 interview on Tues July 19th and I pray and hope all goes well for him. We can't help but to get excited that the date is so near. I've not yet purchased the ticket for him and won't until he has the Visa. However I have started making arrangements for our wedding on August 27th. (this is not the 1st date we've planned for-our good friend is getting married Sat June 16 the day we had wanted)Friends from Edo state are here in the USA and had wanted to attend. I was happy to see them and sad at the same time 'cos they won't be here in August They had beautiful pics to share of Nigeria and it made me very homesick for my man. I cried...) I just miss him so much.

Maybe I should have a plan B just in case. Either way the interview goes, either he's coming here, or I will go there to live and marry him. We will have to place our trust in Jehovah God as he knows what will be best for the two of us. Bassey is my best friend and one whom I can trust and depend on.

Hopefully next week I will have good news to share with all with no more Nigerian hiccups.

Sorry to hear about your situation.

However, if you had accompanied your fiance to one of the interviews, would it have made any difference to the interviewing officer, to establish the level of your commitment to each other? Just my personal thought
