221 (G) for spouse applying L2 Visa

[Jay71 0]

Hi,

I and my wife went for my L1 and her L2 visa interview. The interviewing officer told us your Visa has been approved.

When we went the next day to collect the passports my passport had the L1 Visa stamped but my spouse was given a Yellow paper 221 (G) saying that "Your applicant for Non immigrant visa has been refused under section 221(g) US Immigration and nationality act, pending receipt of additional documentation/information. Once you submit the requested information or the additional processing is complete this office will review your application and submit a final determination. Only the items checked below apply to your case. Please submit the documents requested below along with your passport, this letter and I-797 in the dropbox"

The documents which they have tick marked are "New passport". We are confused why this has been asked as my spouse's passport is valid till 2018? Could it be because of last few B1-B2 denials? If we submit the new passport will they give the L2 stamp since they have given me the L1 stamp?

Please help...I'm absolutely perplexed ...PLEASE HELP.

Talk to your employer's human resources/lawyer. As this is an intra-company transfer, their legal team should be able to handle your questions.

It does sound odd as her passport should be fine - possibly there has been a clerical error at the consulate.
