Unusual situation.

[Skage 0]

Hello everyone.

So i had my interview on the 8th of January. It went generally well, but the interviewer told me i would have to provide an additional document (attestation of birth). he told me that after i provided it, my visa would be issued and that it would take about 2 weeks. He gave me back my passport, a document request form and a nd told me i would have to resubmit  both of them, along with the requested document, in order to get my visa. 

He also gave me the uscis immigrant fee form and the printout with information on domestic violence.

I obtained the requested document in 48hrs, but when i tried to submit, i was told that they had not requested for my passport on the request form. They refused to accept my passport, as a result.

When i tried to log in to ceac website some days later, i discovered i had been placed in administrative processing.

It has now been three months. 

The recent change in language on the ceac website was confusing as i thought i had been refused. To be frank, i'm still not sure what the current situation is.

Does anyone else have any insight or perhaps a similar experience?

It’s been 3 months or 90 days. Email Lagosiv@state.gov and enter case number in the subject line. You can also ask the petitioner to reach out to their Congress rep.

I already reached out via email, once immediately after the incident (as did my wife) and once more a few days ago. 
We will try the Congress rep

Did u put the case number in the subject line? If you didn’t they take it as just a general inquiry where the answer can be obtained from the automatic reply.

Yes, I believe my subject was the case number.

We are from Honduras, so different Country but pretty much the same experience. I wish I could give you a magic answer, but this seems to happen often. People go to their interview, get a pamphlet on on Domestic Violence, get a  221(g) form and told to submit documents so they can review the case, to then only be in AP for months with no more information. 

My husband has had two interviews with 2 221(g) forms, mind you the last form did not request any information, ONLY said you are in AP until further notice. His last interview which was 3 weeks ago, the lady didn't even give him a form or anything, only said watch for your mail we will send you more information. 

Like I said, I feel we are in similar situations, but there is no rhyme or  reason and definitely no way to contact anyone or get answers and I wish I had better information for you. I am sorry you are experiencing this. Hope you get answers and please keep us posted.

Correction: it has only been 2 months since your interview. 

 

Nigeria is affected by the travel ban, so you should expect this to take a while. Of course you're free to send friendly inquiries, but all you can really do now is wait.
