Hi Guys,
My spouse's H4 visa has been pending for almost 1 yr now under 221(g) administrative processing . In the meantime, I reapplied for a new H1B visa (since my previous one was from an older company and finally expired) and I got mine approved. Given I applied for a new visa, my company's immigration attorney suggested that we reapply for a new H4 visa for my spouse.
So we reapplied for my spouse's visa 4-5 weeks ago and she got another 221(g), however they kept her passport this time around. The visa officer promised that they'll be able to get back in a week or so, but we've not heard back anything as of yet. They've asked for no documents.
We've tried everything including raising the issue visa the local congress office, emailing the consulate directly (only to get templated replies) and talking to our attorney, who says he can't do much since USCIS will not even care what he has to say and that the company would be wasting money having to pay for the work that wouldn't be fruitful.
We're in a fairly odd stuck situation since I've never heard of a H-4 visa pending for so long. This is extremely frustrating. I would love to hear back from some of experienced fellows on this forum if anybody has been in this sort of situation before and what has helped (if anything?). Any other thoughts are also welcome.
I thank you all for your responses in advance.
Cheers.
