Hi All,

My wife went to the interview with all the documents and they reviewed it and kept all the documents including her passport and gave a 221(g). It has been nearly 3 weeks now. When asked for a status by e-mail they kept on saying it is in process and it might take a long time. She is has UK visa and we at least want to be close enough so I could go visit her if this takes long.

Is it OK to ask for the passport until the process is done? By requesting the passport cause an automatic rejection or canceling the application?

Finally does anyone know how long this would take (I have read lot of horror stories about 221g)? This is at Colombo US embassy.

Could someone please advise

Thanks in advance

-------------------Yes, you can ask for the passport. Passport belongs to you and your government that gave you. US consulate/embassy can’t keep your passport.

-------------Not true.

Thank you for the answer. I am kind of scared to ask for the passport because it might imply in canceling the application. Could someone else please provide some more detail information.

Thanks.

-------------------no, asking for passport does not cancell the application for visa stamp.

-------------------Wait for others to read your post or talk to your lawyer.
Thanks.
