Ok, so now I got an email last night from the embassy in Islamabad stating the following: Dear Applicant, We are writing about your immigrant visa application, which is refused under Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Please take the following actions: Submit valid passport Create / Update profile to submit / receive documents via courier, use link https://ustraveldocs.com/pk/ Does this mean my spouse's visa has been approved or do they want the passport to stamp it with Rejection?

I guess I will just wait then. How long should I wait before filing WOM?

Yes we were married there. I didnt know there was such a thing as Family Registration Certificate until the interview. So I got the FRC and I have submitted it online.

I am thinking about waiting 60 days then take the next steps. Is it better to sue or contact my Senator for help?

My wife had her visa interview in Pakistan last week. Unfortunately, she was given a white paper stating that the visa was refused under Section 221(g). The Consular Officer (CO) checked the box for "Administrative Processing" and informed her that she needs to wait for further updates. Background: This is a second marriage for both of us, and we’ve been married for 5 years. During the interview, the CO asked for my divorce documents from my first marriage in the U.S., which my wife provided. Next, the CO requested my birth certificate, but I didn’t have it available. I had assumed that my passport, naturalization certificate, and driver’s license would suffice in place of the birth certificate. Finally, the CO asked for our Family Registration Certificate from Pakistan, which I was unaware of until that moment. As a result, my wife’s visa was refused, and she received the white paper with Section 221(g) and "Administrative Processing" checked. What Should I Do Now? I’m unsure of the next steps to take. Any advice or insights from others who have experienced something similar would be greatly appreciated.

This is unbelieveable and totally unacceptable. It defeats the purpose of getting married overseas.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

My wife has a document approval status from NVC. But the case is still at NVC. Can someone tell me how long is it taking right now for a spouse visa case to be transfered from NVC to Islamabad, Pakistan? My apologies if this question has been answered here before. Chris
