At this point you wait now for case to be returned to the US (about 6 months ) 

the reasons for your denial (all reasons) will be listed and you will be given a  NOIR or NOID

NOIR Notice of intent to refuse ( will allow you 30 , 30 business days or 60 days to respond with evidence (and a cosponsor or proof you now make the 125% poverty guidelines needed)

NOID is a notice of intent to deny and to fight that you need to pay the fee and appeal / appeal takes a year or more (going by a member who appealed)

OR

just reapply and fight the issues at a new interview

BTW  you can look for a new job that supports the financial needs

Do not give false information at any cost.

Hello everyone, 

     Anyone that can help would be amazing!!! My husband went to his interview on March 16th with all the evidence and proof possible. They started off asking him all of the general questions about our marriage. He gave them the story and they questioned why my mother was not at our wedding. He answered accordingly. After the questionnaire was complete, they gave him a white form that ready as follows....

 

     Your immigrant visa application has been refused under section 221 (g) of he Immigration and Nationality Act because your documents are incomplete. The current sponsors income does not meet 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for the number of immigrants plus the sponsors family members. .

 

Then it asked us to provide additional documents (additional sponsors) - FORM I-864 & FORM I-864A ...Joint sponsor + tax returns and supporting documents.

 

With this, they gave him another sheet of white paper that stated he should also submit evidence of ongoing communication between him and his spouse from before and after the marriage. Pictures of the wedding rituals, and chats/phone logs/etc. He asked the counselor during the interview if he can present those to him at that time, but they said no it was fine, and to submit if with the additional sponsor papers. He has to get all of this together and drop it off at AHMEDABAD VFS box WITH his passport.

 

My concern is how long this process will take. Is there anyone that can give me any advice or any experiences relating to mine? I can use anything right now. I heard many people say that this is common, but then I also heard people say that once you mess up, they take a very long time. I want to hear that it's not TRUE!! 

 

SOMEONE HELP!!!!!

Hello Meera,

Just submit the documents they asking for and in few days his visa will be approved. Don't panic. You are almost there. I know how hard to be away each other. You will be fine and just sent all documents and double make sure you include everything they ask for. Good Luck!!!

Did you have issues they may find troubling about your case? Did you marry first time? Have you spent time with his family? How many visits total have you had and for how long? 

They are both Indians and mostly of a young age. I am almost certain he is older. Culturally, many specs are arranged and the CO s are aware and approve most cases there. Husband will receive Visa in Hand as soon as required documents are supplied.

I appreciate your time. The CO had told my husband that he does not need to come back for another interview, but just simply submit the required documents with his passport. I am a full time student and work full time as well but will be having my aunt and uncle help me cosponsor to fix the sponsor income issue. The agent I was working with convinced me that my income would  have been enough to support him alone, in which this case, it was not true. I am getting all those documents ready. The question for me though, was, how long it will take for him to get his visa stamp on his passport, once all required documents are submitted. Thanks again for your time 

Only work with a US immigration attorney.  There are legal groups that have representatives in India.

there is no red flags at all from what u said.DONT PANIC AT ALL. CO was not able to approve Visa for single reason Sponsor U was not making enough to support him other than that he could have his visa on first Interview . and to request more evidence is just to see if u always stayed in Contact thats All.

so be calm make sure u have Affidavit of Support done wright no mistakes ,submit evidences requested and u should be ok.

About waiting it will not take long time.when they asked for passport back means to stamp Visa on not to keep it hostage .good luck and its good that u passed most important part to gain Trust from CO now its just Financial Documents and u should be good to go.

So you got married the first visit? Sometimes this causes issues/concerns. You can't change it now of course and it's great you've had two additional visits for a reasonable amount of time. Do you have an age difference? 

Nonsense

 

They just have a few missing documents.  The visa will probably be issued a week or so after the file is complete.

Reading this page sent a cold chill down my spine. However, I'm pretty optimistic from all you have said that he will get his visa stamped as soon as the documents are sent to them that's why they requested for his passport too. So relax and I will also want to thank everyone who made their contribution/comment. I felt encouraged after reading everyone of them even though I'm yet to get an interview date. God bless us all.
