Can they deny your visa for not submitting 221g docs

Can they deny it the moment you tell consular officer you're unable to get the 221g docs? Or do they wait until visa application expires?

It s probably at the discretion of the officer and the nature of the missing documents.  If you say, "I am unable to get the documents you ask for regarding a bona fide relationship",  I wouldn't be surprised to hear the CO say "Your case will be returned to USIC for review".   At that point, your K-1 is dead...because if it is sent back, it will expire at USCIS.  In this case, it would reasonable for the CO to think you do not have a valid relationship.

 

If, however, you are missing a birth certificate, the CO might let your file sit at the consulate to allow you time.

 

I would suggest NEVER saying "I can not get the documents".

Most likely depends on what documents are they asking for, and the reason why you cannot obtain them....all up to the consular officer in that case.

Thank you! ,   We have actually told them we can't find what their asking for. We told them multiple times via e-mail and phone. I'm surprised they didnt close the visa. My fiance couldnt find an arrest record from his teen years and we finally found it after 6 months of searching.
