Immigrant visa been refused under 221g

[Greatness Ezekwe 3]

My immigrant visa has been refused under 221g , I went for my interview on August 2nd the consulate officer took my passport and said they will send a form for me to fill I should fill it and resend it to them immediately which I did , upto till now I haven't received any response from the Embassy,  dose it mean they don't want to give me a visa.

Refused is not denied

it is the status till a decision to approve or  deny is made

I would imagine the form u were told to fill out was the ds 5535 an extensive security check will be done now and may take weeks ,  months or as long as a year

 

all u can do now is wait for the process to complete

 

it is a good thing they kept the passport

Is there anything in particular you think they may want to investigate?

Not necessary. They can hold the passport until further investigation/administrative process

I spoke with an immigration lawyer,  he Said they are  Investigating on my social media and others

Have you ever been married before?

 

Have you ever applied for any other visa to the US in the past?

Male from some African countries and MENA will mostly go through the additional dreaded DS5535 form due to high fraud, especially if any flags are raised in the application.

Good luck

The truth is, no one here knows whether or not you'll definitely get the visa, we have no way of knowing all of the facts of your case. As of now you're in AP and until all of the background checks are complete, you won't have an answer. Unfortunately, it's a waiting game at this point. I wish you the best, please keep us updated.

Bro no let anybody put you under pressure… since it 221G just relax sometimes it takes 3 months to complete the process or more depends on your case always check you case status online it will change from refuse to case ready after that it will go Application Received and the last update should be issued. But sometimes the date will change and your status will remain refused don’t panic that happens because they’re doing some filings on your case but always call them  at least twice or once a week.
