Hi @Ronnyverma

 

221 (g) is not a straight up denial (as in your case is being returned to the States) -- below is some info for you. Just hang in there and you will hear back from the Embassy (albeit the wait time varies). Best of luck to you both  

 

INA Section 221(g) - Incomplete Application or Supporting Documentation

What does a visa denial under INA section 221(g) mean?

A visa denial under section 221(g) of the INA means that the consular officer did not have all of the information required to determine if you are eligible to receive a visa. This means you are not eligible for the visa now, but your case is pending further action for one of the following reasons:

• Your application is incomplete and/or further documentation is required - Applicants whose application forms or other documentation are incomplete are refused. If further documents are required to complete your case, you will be informed what is needed and how to provide it to the embassy or consulate. You will also be given a letter stating your application has been denied under 221(g) and listing which documents you need to provide.
• Administrative processing - Further administrative processing of your application is required before a decision can be made regarding your eligibility for a visa. You will be given a letter stating this and next-step instructions after the administrative processing is complete.

The fact that they retained your passports is usually a good sign...so keep that in mind.  It can take a while to hear back from them though.

Hi!

i’m receiving the same status “document delivery information” and can’t find a good explanation on US travels site. Would you kindly share what ended up with your case even though yours was in 2017? Thanks!

Hi vee75

I was kept checking  my status almost everyday n finally I got my visa approved on 24th August 2017.i think they just check if they have any doubt in the information that they have already in their system n what u answered on your interview time..they just wanted to make sure all these things.dont worry hopefully they will send ur passport In mail wid visa printed on it for sure😊😊

Thank you for the encouraging words. It helps to know others are going through similar things.  I hope my case will end up well too.

Hi Vee75, Any updates?  how long did it take from document delivery information with empty content to something meaningful?

It took only 2 weeks as the consular officer told me...I don't know what your situation is. Hope it'll all work out.
