It is normal but it isn't normal. Most go through without receiving a 221(g) but those that do receive a 221(g), it's not the end of the earth. During the "housekeeping" phase of your approval they notice some information that wasn't discovered before and therefor the 221(g). Just follow the instructions in what it is that they need and then send it back to them based on that information which also is in the 221(g).  The faster and the more accurate you are the sooner you get your visa.

Thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the Embassy/Consulate forum -- topic involves that phase.

Hi zksr did they also send you email asking more information 

[SaRy 73]

Are you sure that's form 221(g)?

 

I think you actually got form DS-5535: Supplemental Questions for Visa Applicants, which usually asks for the following information:

• Travel history during the last fifteen years, including source of funding for travel;
• Address history during the last fifteen years;
• Employment history during the last fifteen years;
• All passport numbers and country of issuance held by the applicant;
• Names and dates of birth for all siblings;
• Name and dates of birth for all children;
• Names and dates of birth for all current and former spouses, or civil or domestic partners;
• Social media platforms and identifiers, also known as handles, used during the last five years; and
• Phone numbers and email addresses used during the last five years.

So it wasn't called "Supplemental Questions for Visa Applicants."

 

Can you please try to remember what the form was called?

I think it's an early unofficial form of DS-5535 before this: "DOS asked the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a 180-day emergency approval of Form DS-5535, and gave the public until May 18, 2017 to submit comments on the proposed form. Procedures for submitting comments to DOS are described in the Federal Register notice."

In my opinion, that form is some kind of "extreme vetting." Read more here:
