221g Refused status changed to Ready (Merged threads)

[Brittanyrose 0]

My husband had his interview last week in Santo Domingo consulate. The officer said everything looked good but he needed to check something and gave my husband the 221g form. The bottom of 221g letter only says "We are carrying out an administrative procedure. We will contact you when finished."

Officer did keep his passport.

 

My husband had an approved i601a for unlawful presence. Doesn't have any criminal history and no double entry. 

 

I asked the officer how long this is expected to take. He said 1 to 2 weeks. The case was looked at on June 29th but still shows refused.

 

Anyone here have something similar or knows anything about this. Please and thank you.

Looks normal under the circumstances.  I wouldn't worry about it at this point.  Keeping his passport is a good sign. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes longer than 2 weeks.  Good luck.

I agreed keeping your passport is a good sign that you did passed out the test. Just keep on the patient 🙏🏿. 

Good luck 👍

My husband had his appointment at the Santo Domingo Embassy on July 22nd. He was given 221g for Administrative Processing (no documents required) CEAC status day only changed on July 29th. No movement. No updates. STILL Refused. Does this mean no one is reviewing our case? Is this normal? Should I do a congressman inquiry? I've tried reaching out but only getting generic messages from the embassy. 

 

Any recommendations on what I should do would be appreciated. Or let me know if this is normal.

It's perfectly normal. AP can take a week, a month, or a year. Nothing to do but wait it out I'm afraid.

 

Good luck.

My husband had his appointment on July 22nd. The officer gave him 221g for Administrative processing and didn't ask for any documents. October 1st the status changed from "Refused" to "Ready". One date change on October 7th. I thought we would have heard good news by now. Is it normal for it to take a long time in "ready" status? Should I be worried?
