Issued a 221g to submit tax transcript (merged)

[Ojay2053 0]

My interview was in October 2019. During the interview , I was asked if I have tax transcript 2018 with me so I’ll be issued visa but I only went with the tax return and the W2. So I was issued a 22g white form which indicates that I should submit tax transcript 2018, and my passport was returned to me. 

I submitted the tax transcript 2018 after two weeks. Two days later my status went to administrative processing. 

Never knew that I have to go to the interview with the tax transcript. I thought it’s optional.  

I’m confused ,I don’t know what to do or how to go about it. 

Now I’ve been thinking why my passport was returned to me , and how long I could stay in this AP.

I’m the petitioner and I petitioned my spouse. I went with him on his interview last oct 25 and was given a 221G refusal due to our missing Marriage Certificate Document. Our Marriage Certificate was uploaded to CEAC website and needed an original copy during the interview but of course we forgot to bring it. We sent the Marriage Certificate, his passport as indicated in the 221G paper and we printed a paper for submission of 221G as indicated in the 221G letter. When you said that you sent your tax transcript did you include your passport? Were you given the same 221G letter we had? Please see below, this is 221G the letter we received from the consular officer. I’m not a pro at this but I wish I could help. I’m also seeking for answers on how long will it take for the AP to take. The documents we sent was received on a Monday Oct 28 and still on AP as of the moment.

Administrative Processing is in the hands of the consulate. It could take a week, a month, or a year, there is no firm timeline. Hope you both hear something soon.

I was given a 221g white form. But I wasn’t instructed to mail/send my passport back to the embassy except only  the tax transcript which they checked. 

Below is the 221g letter I got.  

I hope the process wouldn’t take all that time. At this juncture I’ll relax my mind and stay positive through it all.

Hello VJ’s 

 

I have been waiting since I was placed on AP, and after sending the tax transcript that was asked for since October 2019, nothing yet but change in updates seen on the ceac status, last update is the 20th November 2020.

Last year I saw that my visa application on the portal says “ application re-open”, and asked to be updated. I updated my passport to the recent, and sent an email to notify the update in December 2020. Application was successful as it shows application completed on the visa application portal with an Email confirmation from ceac. 

No response yet. 

Please, we need your guidance as we do not know what else to do , we don’t want to make mistakes because it might prolong the process.

 

Waiting to hear from you, thank you.

I went for CR1 interview in October 2019. After the interview I was issued a 221g to bring 2018 tax transcript only with passport returned to me. My wife hurriedly contacted irs and I got the transcript. I submitted it as I was directed through DHL. Two days later after submitting the transcript The status changed to administrative processing. 

However, I never got a message from the embassy that they have received my transcript. Is it normal not to get a message from the embassy to confirm they’ve received the transcript?

I have been in this AP ever since. Now my status says “Expiring Soon” with a message that my application will be canceled if I don’t contact them within a certain period. 

I am confused,  I’m thinking if they ever got the transcript I sent to them through DHL as I was instructed on the 221g bcos I never got a confirmation message to state they received it. 

The only response we get when we send an email is that case is on AP. 

Case last updated on the 19th January 2021 as seen on the status. 

 

We really do not know what to do at this point. Sometimes we wish the case is cancelled so we can start over again. 

 

We need help on what to do.

 A lot of specifics, like country and many other details are missing from your post, but you have already applied for a visa.  Sounds like this notice is from NVC, not the Consular Immigrant Visa Unit.  We've seen a number of these notices lately.  Looks like an error from NVC.

It’s Lagos Nigeria Consulate. It actually states on the ceac portal that my case is with them. 

Besides, my wife (petitioner) called immigration severally but was told to contact Lagos Consulate. Whenever she call the consulate they don’t explain anything rather told sometimes the case is on Ap. We just want them to tell us if there’s anything missing on our application  or even a little guidance but we’re not getting it. 

We’re confused and waiting on when to get a positive response from them.
