Administrative processing visa status refused. Please help

[aelizo38 14]

Hello friends.

My husband just had his interview at Juarez Mexico on July 6. He has a 5 year bar that will expire on January 2019 for attempting to enter illegally but before that happened he was a orphan that was adopted in the state of Texas by his U.S citizen brother he entered with a tourist visa and one day when he crossed to Mexico and was returning to the u.s he was allowed to withdrawal his application. All I know is that the FOIA says 5 years. He went to his interview and my lawyer and me were expecting for the visa to be denied and be asked for waivers but that was not the case. The officer asked my husband for adoption certificate luckily he had them with him and he was surprised. He told him he wss going to put the case in administraive processing and ineligible under section 221g and that we could not send waivers while it was under administrative processing. Is this good or bad? Thank you

221 g is hard one but I never heard of a case as this but I'm sure there is one he should be a citizen if he was adopted?

Yes you are correct. Unfortunately his brother who was a us citizen and legal father when he was 14 still a  child and did qualified but  was not well informed. He did not hired an attorney and was told he could only petition for him as a brother and not as a son. Maybe the officer at the Interview realized they should have not removed him from the country on the first place. I guess that is why they put administrative processing.
