My husband had the same situation

Oct 25 interview refused visa and issued 221g due to lack of original marriage certificate

Oct 28 Marriage certificate was received by embassy as per 2go tracking

Oct 30 case was placed under administrative processing

Nov 12 I called the embassy to have the case escalated due to no update for weeks. The updated the case but still on administrative processing the date updated was just changed

Nov 14 I called the embassy again to escalate the case and reminded them that my case was originally expedited before it was sent by NVC to US embassy. 30 mins later case was updated to Issued.

Nov 17 still waiting for 2go tracking to get updated. 

True that case differs by situation, this somehow calms me down whenever I find almost the same case as mine and at least would get an idea how long. I would advise for you to call them to get an update. It doesn’t hurt if you try. Goodluck! 

Following this thread. 

My husband’s status was placed to administrative processing since Oct 30th and the required documents was received Oct 28. I called US embassy to escalate this case 2x this week and the Visa status changed to Issued on Nov 14. I saw people’s threads calling 2go at MOA branch even before they received a text. They succesfully got their passport by them picking it up from the branch. Wondering of doing the same thing today. I heard visa is delivered at 5pm weekdays.

My interview was in October 2019. During the interview , I was asked if I have tax transcript 2018 with me so I’ll be issued visa but I only went with the tax return and the W2. So I was issued a 22g white form which indicates that I should submit tax transcript 2018, and my passport was returned to me. 

I submitted the tax transcript 2018 after two weeks. Two days later my status went to administrative processing. 

Never knew that I have to go to the interview with the tax transcript. I thought it’s optional.  

I’m confused ,I don’t know what to do or how to go about it. 

Now I’ve been thinking why my passport was returned to me , and how long I could stay in this AP. 

I’m the petitioner and I petitioned my spouse. I went with him on his interview last oct 25 and was given a 221G refusal due to our missing Marriage Certificate Document. Our Marriage Certificate was uploaded to CEAC website and needed an original copy during the interview but of course we forgot to bring it. We sent the Marriage Certificate, his passport as indicated in the 221G paper and we printed a paper for submission of 221G as indicated in the 221G letter. When you said that you sent your tax transcript did you include your passport? Were you given the same 221G letter we had? Please see below, this is 221G the letter we received from the consular officer. I’m not a pro at this but I wish I could help. I’m also seeking for answers on how long will it take for the AP to take. The documents we sent was received on a Monday Oct 28 and still on AP as of the moment.
