221(g) and other reply after interview

[charity1214 3]

Ours is somewhat of an odd response and after trying to read more on VJ about this outcome, I thought I'd post on here and get some feedback. I don't know whether or not to be too concerned.

We had our interview today which went good until we got to the interview. first, she asked for the Netherlands police record, and we had to tell them yet again that THEY have to request it and that we've ASKED them request it 3 times. She acted like she knew that (no she did not) and said that we have to have that first. Then she went over his arrest papers (arrested, charged, pleaded guilty and sentenced to community service, served, and his record was expunged. Police record was clear (showed no record) and the courts even said there was no record.

Then printed out the 221(g) with the comment "Please sumbit the police certificate from The Netherlands as soon as you get it" and under "Other" she put: Will do more research into your conviction and will notify you if anything else is needed.

So, it would appear there is nothing we can do at this point right?? The embassy had to request the Netherlands Police Certificate and I assume will receive it there. And the "research" is on her end. Her excuse was "I just want to make sure there is nothing else that we need for this." What sort of explanation is this?? We gave her the charge information, the probation order, the letter saying that he served it in full and the case was closed, and a copy of the pardon. WHAT MORE can she possibly want??

How do I know if the Holland Certificate arrives? I requested for it in APril and they obviously didn't do it, then again in June and they didn't do it, and again 8 days ago and (obviously) it's not here yet.

i hear horror stories on people having to send more information to the embassy and them taking months to open their mail and finishing up cases, but is there any chance ours might wrap up more quickly? We let them keep his passport because he has no plans to visit me until the VISA is done and she seemed fine with us leaving it with them (I was afraid of them having everything and needed the passport and then waiting months to open the passport package and finishing it up. this way it'll stay together i hope??)

Any advice or insight would be appreciated. Just frustrated that we were very meticulous to do what we needed to do on our end, and yet, there's no justification why they haven't requested our police report yet.
