hi alp

whats this ur only solution for domicile? go back to the US and find a job? :o

Yup cause Thats what they told me at the embassy since I have been away for too long since high school. I dont want to waste time cause I found some post that said they were given 221g three times cause the evidence they were sending were not enough for domicile so I decided that I will give them the best evidence that I am domicile to the U.S by being here with a job , so that I wont waste time.

Congratulations!!!  I checked our status today, and ours is "ISSUED", too!!!!  Only took 1 day for AIT to receive and review the divorce certificate from the 221(g)

 

Woo Hoo!!!!!

Hi I got my interview today and also got the 221(g) 

we can get the missing document by tomorrow and mail it too but after that whats the next step? Is there a fee i need to pay online before the visa can be issued and mailed back after the 221(g) is fixed?

Can you tell me your experience with the 221(g) and how you mailed the missing paper? in the drop box?

 it would really help me

thanks very much

After my wife got the 221g green sheet during the interview, she immediately went to Household Registration Office to get the official divorce certificate.  Then she just followed the instructions on the sheet for mailing it to AIT.  After about 1 day, the status on the CEAC website changed from "Refused" to "Issued".   Then after 2 more days, she received a text message which said her passport was ready to be picked up at the location we chose earlier.

 

I then paid the $220 "green card fee" online at https://www.uscis.gov/file-online/how-pay-uscis-immigrant-fee

 

Best Wishes

Hi sorry to bother you again

I know you had the 221(g) and had to mail them the missing info 

Did you mail the info it in the kerr express free drop off location or just mailed it in a normal taiwan post office? Can I just mail it in the normal post office since i live far from taipei and any location for the free drop off location.
