Regards to a Cr-1 Visa.. HELPP!!?
Answer:
I disagree with the first reply. A 221g is not a NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny). A consulate only has the power to send an approved petition back to the USCIS for revocation.
What is 221(g)?
The 221(g) is a section of the US Immigration and Nationality Act, which is used when the embassy or consulate are unable to take immediate action on a visa case. In rare cases, when additional processing is required, the suspense category used in that case is 221(g) while the additional processing takes place. For example, sometimes the applicant has failed to bring in the correct documentation, has incomplete information or in some cases the embassy wants a co sponsor before they will issue the visa or health reasons are all reasons a 221(g) is issued. In the Middle East/African/ Asian countries these applicants are scrutinized and screened more intensely and thus they have to wait out longer security or fraud investigations until all verifications for security or suspected fraud come back cleared.

The 221(g) forms vary from consulate/embassy and you can get one or more forms after your interview. They vary in color as well as the way they are written whereas some are brief and some are detailed. In most cases they say to contact the consulate/embassy after 45 days. Be aware that the 45 days means business days (no weekends or holidays) and in some parts of the world the processing times are longer than 45 days. Always, try and check for others that are going through the same consulate and see what the average processing time is for the majority of the applicants.
DS-230 should of already been submitted to NVC. It will already be in your husbands file or he wouldn't have an interview date set . The DS-230 is the application for a visa.
All the best for your husbands interview.
Pakistan is the worst. I am sorry. Up to 2 years after interview.
You probably will get Ar - Administrative review. Security checks will take a while.
People actually have to go to Pakistan to live there for a year or two to convince immigration. And tehya re being visited by embassy officers, to check on things. But it differs.
The main point: if you get AR, NOID (notice of intend to deny) - Dont give up. go to www visajourney com - They have a special section for people from countries like pakistan.
