221g after CR1 interview in Mumbai on June 1, 2016

[patelk05 0]

My wife had interview on June 1, 2016. Mumbai Embassy kept her passport and gave her a white paper saying the visa has been placed in pending status with 221g stating to submit sponsor W-2 Form via email within 15 days. I submitted the requested documents within a hour after the interview. And I am wondering how long will it take to review documents and send the stamped passport to my wife?

Hi,

I had the same thing happen to me at my interview last week Monday...but they gave me back my passport along with the 221g paper.

They asked for my co-sponsor's W2 and my husband's job letter and tax assessment and for me to send back the passport once I gather all they asked for. I mailed the docs with the passport and they got it on Tuesday of this week but there is no real time frame that anyone can give for these APs. It's a "sit and wait until we finish the review" kinda situation.

Just keep checking this link for an update: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

Status change goes like this: ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING ---> READY ---> ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING ---> ISSUED.

Sometimes it goes directly from READY to ISSUED. So keep checking and best of luck to you and yours!
