What if the Officer keeps my case on hold under Section 221(g)?
If your visa was not issued under Section 221(g) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, it means that your application was incomplete or requires further action. The Consul will return your passport to you .You may then return to the Consulate with the required additional documentation. Follow the instructions provided to you at the time your case was originally placed on hold. The application fee paid to schedule the initial interview is valid for the subsequent interview up to one (1) year from date of application fee payment to a bank.
