221g-Admin Processing no additional documents asked

[judithk 1]

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding my recent K1 visa interview. I was given a 221(g) form, but no additional documents were requested. During the interview, the consular officer asked if I had a particular police certificate other than the one (i submitted the one their embassy website lists as a requirement, though my country has different criminal record certificates)

After the interview, she informed me that my case would undergo administrative processing and that I should wait to hear from the embassy. For your information, she asked basic questions about me and my fiancé, which I answered correctly, but didn't request any evidence or proof of our relationship.

It's been nearly three weeks since the interview. I've been checking the CEAC status updates, and it has only been updated twice. My question is: Should I go ahead and submit proof of the relationship and the additional police certificate ( i got it after the interview just incase), even though they didn't ask for them? Or would that be a bad idea?

By the way, this was at the Kigali Consulate.

Usually when nothing is asked, it means that some processes of the embassy have not been finished and it is nothing you can influence (otherwise, they would have asked you to provide it).
Did the embassy take your passport?

@Yareth processes of the pertaining our relationship or generally embassy processes? They gave me back my passport, though it seemed to be the norm with other people who were missing simple documents, One guy i interviewed with was told to send a missing document, n his passport was given back, though he was able to get the document the next day, sent it over together with his passport, and got his visa within a week.

Processes pertaining your application (i.e. background checks). Usually an embassy keeps your passport if they expect processing to be relatively quick. It's the only indicator we have. 

Unfortunately, the only thing you can do right now is wait (as far as I know).
