Very pregnant; expedited interview; time frame? [split topic]

[Amar K 1]

Hello. My husband is oversea and his visa interview expedited because I am 37weeks pregnant. He had his interview oct 20th however they give him 221G white form to submit the tax transcript and return his passport as well. Now I’ve been checking everyday to schedule his 221G interview but it never shows available. Can you someone tell me how soon you will get an interview and what and how long is the the process after submission? 😞

Did he already submit what was asked?

Unfortunately, it is up to the embassy.

What country are we talking about here?

Yes he was asked to tell your wife to submit IRS tax transcript on NVC( which I did last week) and make an appointment for 221G in india and submit his passport along with documents. It’s been 2weeks now. And it says there is no appointment available. 😣. So stressful. Everything was already too delayed due to covid.

Has he submitted the passport?

 

Unfortunately, India has a serious backlog and with you being 37 weeks pregnant, I do not see him getting to US in time to be here for the birth of the child. Infact, you are late (as far as I know, most pregnancies are 36 weeks, but 37 is still understandable). 

I would prepare myself for a birth without him.

No he have not submitted that passport yet. He needs an appointment for 221G in order for him to submit the passport. And there is no appointment available as far as I am checking everyday on the site. Yes I’m prepared for birth without him but just curious as to how long it will take since it’s been over 2years now… covid delayed so much and now 221G. Ugh what was the purpose of the expediting the case of you not going to give the visa when person has all the valid documents on him and don’t even ask for it.

One is pregnant for 40 weeks, first time moms often go over, 37 weeks is premature.  But I agree I doubt he will make it in time. AP cannot be expedited either.

I am due on my regular date. My question was how long does it take 221G appointment to be scheduled once the tax transcript has been submitted to the NVC? 

[JeanneAdil 6,510]

Even after the documents are furnished,  the AP in India is long and extensive

this is thinking they have not started the required extra security checks as they were not privy to all documents at the 1st interview

if u are lucky,  they have started them and the 2nd interview will just be simple one to reaffirm the information

but he will need a new medical exam

There is no way to know.  However, it is quite unlikely he would be here for the baby's birth, unfortunately.   Kind of the risk one assumes when conceiving during the immigration process.  Good luck to you.

Many consulates don't require another interview for a 221g.  They instruct the applicant to send the required documents back or drop them off.  I think you just have to keep checking the schedule.

My husband was given white form and it says he have to make an appointment for 221G and submit his passport and tax transcript. But no appointment shows available 😞
