Is "Submit passport and requested document" letter same as 221g?

[TheDjans 15]

Hi VJs,

After our interview, the CO gave us a letter directing us to submit our passports together with a letter from our joint sponsor. The letter didn't state it was 221g (AP) or any other Act but we've been stuck on Ready for 3 months. Our ceac status changed from AP to Ready 7 days after we submitted documents and has remained same for 3 months.

 

Are we in AP?

Yes the letter is 221g for requesting documents. Yes you are in AP and it could take to a year or more or less, no one can specifically tell you how long you will be in AP for. Best of luck to you both. Email the embassy to see if they will update you on your case.

Sugarlegetiti, have you experienced 221g before?  If yes,  can you share your experience with us?

your case was not sent back to Uscis so I think they are just moving slow they took your passport so what you should do is email the embassy and ask they whats going on with your case. You can also call and track your passport and i believe on the ustraveldoc website allows you to track progress.

Joetan, we've emailed and called several times but we're not getting any updates on the case.

Yes, my husband (fiance at the time) was denied K1 visa in 2016 and his case was sent back to USCIS.  He was denied  for not having enough evidence, the CO told him why don't I come to Ghana and marry him. So I went to Ghana in April 2017 and got married,  I filed CR1 and Visa approved in August. My husband is here now.
