K1 221(g)

[robertg 0]

Hi list,

My Fiance'e has received the following information from U.S. Embassy, New Delhi, India:

The Consulate General regrets it is unable to issue a visa at this time. Section 221 (g) of the U.S Immigration and Nationality Act prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone who has failed to present the documents required in connection with their visa application, or who has otherwise failed to meet the requirements of U.S. law or regulations governing issuance of a visa. The following remarks apply in your case:

A list of all the petitioner's and beneficiary's relatives living in the US and India, with complete contact address information, telephone, and dates of birth (include cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, children, nephews, and nieces, and all in-laws). For those relatives who live in the US but were not born there, describe how they came to the US, when, under what visa type, and the names they used when they immigrated. Please provide FAMILY names.

All ration cards, voter ID cards, and voter lists for the beneficiary and her parents from 1995 to present.

I have the following questions:

1. Is it better to get advice from a attorney at this point?

2. Why do they ask this kind of information?

3. What will hapeen next after submitting the above information?

4. How long will it take to get the visa after submitting the above information?

5. Do they do back ground check on each person (cousing, aunt etc)?

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance

Raj

This is quite common so no need to panic. There is also no way of getting around giving this information. You will have to submit everything to their satisfaction before they will continue processing the visa. You might find yourself stuck in AP/AR while they continue doing security checks or even a field investigation. Best thing for you is to post this in the South Asia Forum for allthe people who have been through your consulate will know more specifically how to advise you from this point!

Good luck!

I agree, don't panic and don't worry about a lawyer.

I had a 221-G with my first fiancee. The official title of it is scary. It is called an "intent to deny". It would more appropriatly called an intent to approve.

What it means usually is that you have passed the interview. Sometimes there is something they want more proof on and that would be listed. Basically when they have that and check it all out you will get your visa. If you failed the interview you would have received a flat out denial.

The bad news is it is probable you will be going into Administrative Review while they check the background on anyone whose name you furnish. That can be a delay of a few weeks or a few months. I have been in A/R at the NVC level now for 9 weeks.

As all have said do not panic and provide the information that they are requesting. Manuandsam? ID just went thru Mumbai with similiar experince and he now has his visa in hand. My husband endured AP at his consulate too and it is scary when you first hear of this but it is common occurance. Good luck.

ME/NA forumis not the correct place. Try the South Asia forum.

The 221-G is what I hear the most about it is a blue slip. Pink sounds like they are going to do some adminstrative processing. That may take from 2 weeks to 3 months, maybe more. The record is 8 years.
