H4 stamping (FTE) 221g refusal notice(yellow slip) July6th :(

[murthyuser123]

This is shocking, my wife got 221g visa refusal yellow slip for H4 stamping.my wife and son got back her passport without stamping next day.

My wife and son had interview for H4 stamping at Mumbai consulate on July 6th and they didnt tell her stamping status and kept the passport.

The questions they asked were,

1) what visa you have applied: H4

2) show latest payslip and original I-797

3) is that your son joining with you for same visa

I am surprised that in the yellow slip they have asked for copy of I-797 even though we had submitted it four days before interview and VO saw the original I-797 during the interview too.

Here is what they have asked to submit in 221g yellow slip,

1) 221g refusal notice(yellow slip)

2) passports

3) CEAC barcode

4) copy of I-797

also they have returned my sons visa appointment letter with PIMS written on it and on the 221g refusal notice(yellow slip) they have mentioned 'Admin Processing' under 'Other'.my child is not US citizen.

please share of someone has any comments/feedback or similar experiences to handle this.

As far as my knowledge is concerned 221g is not refusal. May be they need some more time in this case that's why thy mentioned 'Admin Processing'.
