Subject: Anyone experiencing the same 221(g) situation at U.S. Embassy Manila?
Hello everyone,
I’m currently under 221(g) administrative processing. My passport is still being held by the U.S. Embassy Manila, and the CEAC status remains “Refused.” My interview was on September 19, 2025.
The letter I received states that my case is under administrative processing, and when I asked at the helpdesk counter, they mentioned it could take 2–3 weeks to check, but until now there has been no update.
Would it be advisable to call the embassy hotline, since email inquiries are not being replied to? I would greatly appreciate hearing about your timeline, updates, or experiences if you are in a similar situation.
Thank you so much for your help.
Viajé
Ayer por primera vez , después de 1 año que me aprobaron mi Advance parole .
viajé a mi país Nicaragua, regresé Ayer por el aeropuerto de Miami, solo me preguntaron si era mi primera vez usando el permiso, me tomaron mis huellas, me sellaron el permiso y me dijeron que tenha un feliz día 🥰🥰🥰 gracias a Dios todo muy bien .
lo único que mi permiso se vence hasta el 2029 pero el de migración me lo aprobó hasta el 2026, ellos tienen la autoridad para anular o bajar el tiempo de validez .
case was approved early 2024, no final green card interview.
I called them, requested some details, they email that that they can’t help lol(very helpful right).
then more than a month ago my attorney sent them a letter with a written request to look into that.
I have filled the adjustment of status form with my Vawa so it was sitting there all these years. already got the case approved and have my combo card until 2029….anyone was in the same position? what is the outcome?
Anyone get their IR1 Spousal visa from Buenos Aires? How was it?
Hello all! Just curious to know haha, has anyone here done their interview recently at the US Embassy at Buenos Aires, Argentina? Im wondering how it's like, or how your experience was. Fingers crossed that we'll get our interview date soon, but I'm incredibly nervous since I cant accompany my hubby into the interview so I'll have to wait outside with the mosquitos 😂 But yes, if anyone would like to share what it was like, we'd love to hear!! Thanks all!
