My Fiance at had similar and was asked to submit the above mentioned documents and then they will review again.

Many thanks to VJ , having read so many topics with the same request we had already prepared the tentative wedding plan and all , just in case - if everything goes well. My fiance said she has the plans , but then was asked to submit to VFS.

After all the doc submission , it took about 2 weeks for the visa to be issued

1) The consulate officer is not ignorant. Plenty of people plan a wedding prior to having the visa. At the very least you should know who you plan on inviting and their contact information. You don't have to have solid plans or reservations already made to say that you plan on inviting these people, hopefully in this month, to most likely this location. Be prepared for them to actually contact your invitees. Consider getting notarized letters from friends and family stating that they know you intend to marry and they are familiar with your relationship and that they plan on attending the wedding when the visa is issued.

2) There are plenty of people who have gone through this at Mumbai. Go to the "Reviews: Embassy/USCIS & POE" tab on the menu of VJ and look up your consulate. Focus on reviews with a poor rating and you will be able to find examples of this and how people responded.

3) A 221(g) is what is issued when they are putting a decision on hold pending further information. If the information you provide is sufficient and you aren't required to also undergo an additional background check, most people receive their visas in India with 6 weeks of submitting the additional evidence.

4) Stop typing in all caps and use the search feature to proactively find advice for your specific information. There is tons of it on here and not everyone who went through your situation is still on here replying to new topics.

5) Good luck on the rest of your journey.

I am sorry to hear this has happened but I am with you upset... The questions about your wedding are a bit much.

I don't think you should be worry about this because now days their process is changed so they give the same ansswer to everyone and it's tme consuming but you will get the visa soon trust me ever since my fiance had his interview I been searching alot about it and talked to embassy so they are just checking called security check as we all know it's important for themt to do that so don't worry give them atleas 60 days and after 60 days you will find out or you never know you may get ansswer within few weeks
