My husband had his interview March 9th 2023 and he was approved at the interview and they took his passport. He was refused on March 15th 2023 and it took 3 months and his visa was issued to him in June of 2023....hope this helps someone and best of luck❤
The detail description is for the people who also went through the administrative process for their B1/B2 US visitor visa case. My parents applied for US visitor visa on Nov 03rd 2022 from Ottawa consulate, their interview went smooth and officer approved the visa. We were then instructed to collect the passport whenever we got the email. On nov 07 we did received my mothers passport back with the visa on it but didn’t received it for my father. At that time my father online status was showing Approved and it remained the same till nov 14th. During this time we didn’t heard anything regarding his passport. On Nov 15th the CEAC case status changed from approved to refused and that was the time of getting panic for me. Upon getting information online and from some of the my friends i was able to understand that refused does not means that my father is denied for Visa but the case is under administrative process (AP). Then on Nov 24th almost 10 days pass by the CEAC status changed from Refused to Approved and then the very next day it again changed from Approved to Issued. Finally after those stressful 25 days we received my father’s passport back with the visa on it. During these 25 days they kept my father’s passport with them and upon emailing them we were receiving auto generated reply and nothing else. After the interview the visa officer did said approved for the visa else we were not handed over any kind of form or slips. To advice those who are also getting stressful seeing their CEAC status change from approved to refused that it is actually under administrative process and not a denied case unless the officer on interview day said that you are denied for the visa and returned your passport. When ever the case is under such process they stop showing it as “Administrative Process” just says “Refused” on CEAC. During this status changed cycle if your passport is with them then you don’t have to worry about it let them complete the process and your visa will be issued. FYI there is a chances that they might returned your passport back and again asked for it once the process is complete to issue the visa so keep your hopes alive and lord will make things easy for everyone. Thank you
Hello di .. i am in same situation .. i gave interview on 22 of july but status is showing refused and no any update after my interview till now .. its been almost 24-25 days .. my last case update date is also my interview date .. nothing after that .. please reply

I went to my spousal immigrant visa interview recently, and i was put on AP and no additional documents was requested. On the 21 of June 2023 I was re-scheduled for another appointment this time, with my wife over in her Country on the phone. We both answered the questions as truthful as we know. At the end the Officer said they’ll get back to us on a Mail, please how long would this take?
My case was previously in Administrative Processing, due to this change it displayed "Refused". On 1st of April 2020 my CEAC status changed to "Issued", but due to embassies closure I did not receive my passports along with the visa. Now on July 17th 2020 again my case shows refused. After more than three months from being issued.
Oooh wow! Am relieved to have found this video!! had panicked for awhile ...my status Also changed to “refusal” and yet they still have my passport ...🙏🏿

Day before yesterday I had my interview for J-1 visa. The interview went well and the Consular has signed my DS-2019 form and taken the passport. Also, I didn't receive any slip during the interview. In fact at the end of the interview, the Consular told, "Have a good time in U.S". But the visa status is showing as REFUSED. What does this mean? Any idea? Please let me know.
Please let me know, how your situation was solved. I have the same situation with my J1 J2 visas in US Embassy Warsaw. I had an interview 24th of August.

IR1-IR2 Visa here and we're still waiting for our passports with Visa and our status is the same as you've mentioned from administrative processing to refused and we don't have 221g and so far no emails or letters from all the offices, so we're just positive that the Visa will arrive soon its the third week now from the interview approval, we will be back for the update.

Hi, thanks for the video. My interview was a year ago and they kept my passport. Now I find my status REFUSED ....which was earlier Administrative Processing.....and now showing the long one para of texts for admin processing. But received an email 3 days ago to collect my passport from the collection point. But still the online status is REFUSED and the texts below are for those long one para regarding admin processing!! Cannot collect the passport due to COVID19 issue now. Just guessing....what happened to the visa. Any idea?
Don't worry, the online status can be misleading. Until you see the passport, you cannot say the status, if it issued or you need to submit anything. Try to call them or email them,.
Hi my issue is vo says your visa is approved and dropped my passport in the box(hyd consulate) but after a day my status changed to refused but I didn't recieve any 221g form or anything 😞 can anyone know this issue why is this happening

I finished my interview on 14th Sep, after the interview the consular told me to wait 7-10 work days and he kept my passport and all the documents.

I checked the status from CEAC and it was not updated since the interview day. I am not sure how long it will take. I am too stressful.
I plan to attend and present my research at a conference (from example 10-13 July 2024). Now for last 1.5 months my case was refused under 221(g).

A U.S. consular officer has adjudicated and refused your visa application. Please see the letter you received at the interview. What does this mean? Is this already a denied of Visa?
No it isn't denied check the instructions on the letter you got from U.S Embassy if they asked you to submit some documents then submit them. After submitting documents every 2 weeks send email at U.S Embassy for case Status.
My Visa status was changed to 'Administrative processing' after 3 days and ISSUED on the 4th day. Do not worry its Visa officer said your visa is approved, your status will change in 4 days. All The Best..
I submitted my application through the interview waiver program on Aug 11 and now the visa status is showing refused. But I haven’t received any email from the consulate. Does this mean that my application was rejected or put on administrative processing? According to the visa status check website, my case was made and updated on Aug 12 and no update after that
I was called back for an interview at the consulate. My visa was approved after that. Don’t panic if you’re in the same boat you’ll get a call back from the consulate for further action.

Applied for visa via dropbox for myself, wife and 3 kids. My last child who is only 5yrs actually had a valid which expires in 4-months. Rest of the family had expired visas of 10-months. I was the primary applicant and indicated i will paying for all costs associated with travel. Just checked CEAC. My status says REFUSED. That of my wife and 2 of my children says ISSUED. The 5 year old has a status that says ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING. A bit confused. Thinking if they were not comfortable with me they would not issue to all of us. And why does a 5yr old have administrative processing status when her older brothers and mother have issued visas. We have all travelled to the US together in the past without any overstays, criminal record etc. I work at the same institution as last previous physical interview and probably more senior now. I haven't received any communication via mail yet as the status on CEAC only updated yesterday. Any thoughts?
I have appeared for my interview on March 2nd, they gave me 221g white paper and took my client letter for verification. My client received mail from them asking few questions and they replied back on March 16, still I didn't get info abt my approval or refusal. Is it under hold?
Please I was given 214b letter. But my passport was not given back to me. I still see on my CGI portal that "your passport is still with us at the embassy. What do I do in this case?

I have the same issue. Mine was for an f1. My status changed yesterday to refused. From what I’ve learned that when that happens either we get our passport back with 221g slip or the status changes to administrative processing after a few days.

The same exact thing happened to me in US embassy Paris last week. The embassy sent me an email with DS-5535 form, I think you should check your email. Perhaps you received additional documentation?

Usually 221g is like a black box, we would not know. Sometimes, they say what they want. Sometimes, they do not tell anything. If they asked you give something, send it and all you can do is wait.

I hope somebody can help me had an interview 19 march and got refused under section 221g till now no word from the embassy
The detail description is for the people who also went through the administrative process for their B1/B2 US visitor visa case. My parents applied for US visitor visa on Nov 03rd 2022 from Ottawa consulate, their interview went smooth and officer approved the visa. We were then instructed to collect the passport whenever we got the email. On nov 07 we did received my mothers passport back with the visa on it but didn’t received it for my father. At that time my father online status was showing Approved and it remained the same till nov 14th. During this time we didn’t heard anything regarding his passport. On Nov 15th the CEAC case status changed from approved to refused and that was the time of getting panic for me. Upon getting information online and from some of the my friends i was able to understand that refused does not means that my father is denied for Visa but the case is under administrative process (AP). Then on Nov 24th almost 10 days pass by the CEAC status changed from Refused to Approved and then the very next day it again changed from Approved to Issued. Finally after those stressful 25 days we received my father’s passport back with the visa on it. During these 25 days they kept my father’s passport with them and upon emailing them we were receiving auto generated reply and nothing else. After the interview the visa officer did said approved for the visa else we were not handed over any kind of form or slips. To advice those who are also getting stressful seeing their CEAC status change from approved to refused that it is actually under administrative process and not a denied case unless the officer on interview day said that you are denied for the visa and returned your passport. When ever the case is under such process they stop showing it as “Administrative Process” just says “Refused” on CEAC. During this status changed cycle if your passport is with them then you don’t have to worry about it let them complete the process and your visa will be issued. FYI there is a chances that they might returned your passport back and again asked for it once the process is complete to issue the visa so keep your hopes alive and lord will make things easy for everyone.
Thank you
Hello di .. i am in same situation .. i gave interview on 22 of july but status is showing refused and no any update after my interview till now .. its been almost 24-25 days .. my last case update date is also my interview date .. nothing after that .. please reply

Hi, thanks for the video. My interview was a year ago and they kept my passport. Now I find my status REFUSED ....which was earlier Administrative Processing.....and now showing the long one para of texts for admin processing.

Don't worry, the online status can be misleading. Until you see the passport, you cannot say the status, if it issued or you need to submit anything. Try to call them or email them,.

Applied for visa via dropbox for myself, wife and 3 kids. My last child who is only 5yrs actually had a valid which expires in 4-months. Rest of the family had expired visas of 10-months. I was the primary applicant and indicated i will paying for all costs associated with travel. Just checked CEAC. My status says REFUSED. That of my wife and 2 of my children says ISSUED. The 5 year old has a status that says ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING. A bit confused. Thinking if they were not comfortable with me they would not issue to all of us. And why does a 5yr old have administrative processing status when her older brothers and mother have issued visas. We have all travelled to the US together in the past without any overstays, criminal record etc. I work at the same institution as last previous physical interview and probably more senior now. I haven't received any communication via mail yet as the status on CEAC only updated yesterday. Any thoughts?

What would happen when they have asked you to update your ds-260 form and after done so, it still shows " visa refusal" and the recent date updated and then in the embassy website shows " IV COMPLETE AND AFFIDAVIT COMPLETE AND U.S. IMMIGRANT VISA IS AT THE CONSULATE??
PERHAPS DOES IT MEAN THAT IT IS STILL PENDING TO BE APPROVED??

Hi My husband had a successful visa interview on 21st Sept and on spot he was given a yellow slip, clearly mentioning "Congratulations! your us Non-immigrant visa to visit the United State has been approved!" Consulate officer has taken the Passport. His visa category is J1 research scholar. Just after two days, he received one email asking for research background check (221g letter actually). Could you please suggest us how long does it take to complete the process?

Our status changed from Refused to Ready after a week (and counting) but doesn't show as Approved or Issued. I also haven't received any email or call for additional information. Help?????
You got visa ? Same happen with me
@shobikhalid1 yeah. Everything took around a month or little over in total. First it was that they hadn't received my medical. Next time it was that they forgot to swear in my toddler and I had to go back and get that done. Then it took another 10 business days before I got the email to go pick up and status was showing "At NVC" by that point even after being picked up.
I had my interview last week, but the office could not continue with the process as they were waiting for a "pin" in the system. Does anyone know what is this pin? Tks
i have applied for renewal of B1/B2 Tourist visa from Pakistan under new law of interview waiver program, they received application on 6th of Feb-2023 and Refused under new text on 22nd Feb-2023. today is 2nd March and haven't received any update yet. My passport are with the embassy till today. is there any hope of renewal of my visa?
Have you received your passport? Refused or issued a visa?
Was your visa issued?
I have the same issue. Mine was for an f1. My status changed yesterday to refused. From what I’ve learned that when that happens either we get our passport back with 221g slip or the status changes to administrative processing after a few days. If you just get you passport back with no slip it might mean that you’ve been denied. Either way it’s a very vague and confusing situation. Since I got my last f1 in 2017 through an interview which seemed like a seamless process. This waiver thing has me in stress.
In the same boat. Did you get your visa?
The same for me, did you get your visa?
I did the dropbox they requested for my passport on april 15th I now see the status online refused but i havent gotten any 221 they still have my passport what does this mean.

what happened to your case?
have you got visa
Any update? It same happened to me, I got my interview on May 21th
I submitted my J1 application and I was under the impression that I needed to have an interview. However, when I called the consul, they informed me that I was eligible for an interview waiver and instructed me to send my documents by post. I complied with their instructions, and the application status changed to 'application received.' The next day, it changed to 'refused.' Perplexed, I contacted them again, and they assured me that it wasn't refused; everything appeared to be in order, but I needed to wait. I'm a bit confused now. Has anyone else faced a similar situation
If you are going to be working in a tech field, most likely they are doing a background check on you.
hey i am in the same sitiation did you get any información yet ?
@@federicogomez2461 wait for them to return your passport, you should get a 221g form with instructions on what to do next.
@@NewEnglandSkylar hello ! What does it mean if during the interview they told me I was approved and took my passport, but one month later the case appears as refused? And three days after the refusal appears, they send me an email to pick up the passport that says: 'Our records indicate that your visa document(s) are available for pick up at BOGOTA ASC. An appointment must be scheduled in order to retrieve your documents at the following address. this means that i get the visa or not ?
Our case is under Administrative processing and changed to refused. We had to submit some info as advised at the time of interview and returned the passport that time. Later on after 18 days of interview Consulate office asked to submit passport. We have submitted the passport on 8th March 2020. We are yet to receive Visa or any other status. Plz let me advice.
Now all consulates are not processing due to closure. They will process once consulates are going to be opened
@@RedBus2US.. is it a positive sign as they asked to submit the passports.
What other additional info did you submit because the consular just told me to go and figure out additional evidence of relationship to be submitted.

I had my interview of C1/D .Consular said your visa is approved and kept the passport and handed over a slip to me in which it was written that you will receive your visa within one week later on but next day when i checked on CEAC SITE .It is showing to Refused today is 13 sept 2022 case update date is still 2 nd sept which is my visa interview date.I am confused .Will my visa get approved .can someone pls tell
The same exact thing happened to me in US embassy Paris last week. The embassy sent me an email with DS-5535 form, I think you should check your email. Perhaps you received additional documentation? I was promised one week as well and got the approved slip but still waiting. It’s been 15 days since and still refused. I believe in your case, the embassy maybe wants extra documents from you, check your junk mail? I hope that you get your visa soon, good luck!

Usually 221g is like a black box, we would not know. Sometimes, they say what they want. Sometimes, they do not tell anything. If they asked you give something, send it and all you can do is wait.
