221(g) on H-4 visa for academic transcripts

[xs2dhillon]

Dear All,

I am currently on H-4 visa and currently pursuing Masters degree in a State University. I appeared for a H-4 visa interview and the VO asked me to provide enrollment verification for my current studies. I provided the required documents, However, the VO asked me provide the academic transcripts for the courses that I have taken so far. As I did not have these documents, the VO kept my passport and issued me 221(g) slip. My questions are:

1. Any expected time frame until the issue will be resolved?

2. Should the academic transcripts matter for the H-4 visa applicant?

Any responses will be highly appreciated.

1. Have you asked for the necessary docs? Expedite this and see what happens. Talk to your DSO.

2. It may or may not have something to do with the TAL. It may have something to do with your spouses H1 status.
