    I had a interview 19 th april 2023.I got a yellow paper of condtional visa approval.from this day I am waiting for passport delivery up to 14 jun 2023.finally today I got my passport with visa and give a paper mention .
    Your case is refused under NIA Section 21 (g)(2) for failing ot comply with the provisions of INA or the implementing regulations. Your refused case may be reconsidered by following the instructions given by the interviewing officer and/or by providing the information/items marked below.
    And mention
    You application is subject to administrative processing .

      But you said your passport received with visa if so then why 221g or administrative processing?

    Hi, I was wondering if the visa status changes from refused to Administrative processing once you submit the documents they asked for. I reapplied for F1 visa and submitted the documents they asked for but my status still says refused and the case date has not been updated.

    My dad was interviewed for B1/B2 non-immigrant visa. His visa application was refused and gave back his passport and gave him 221(g) yellow slip saying "You are required to return to the Embassy for interview". What does this mean? No additional docs requested though. Are we going to wait for a call from the US Embassy before going there or we can go there depending on the schedule as stated on the slip?

    Hello Sir. thank you so much for this explanation. I am sailor more than 20 years.I live in Montenegro whole my life. I had aproved (in the the past) more than 6 visas for seamans.But few days ago i was rejected with 221g administrative processing without any explanation.All required documents and garant letter from company i had but reason for rejection i didn't get. Also i find some statment from official website of the US State Department that said during the last year, 34,03 percent of requests from Montenegro were rejected. Can you please tell me what are my chances to get that visa. i never had any issues with law all my life .thank you

    • @sarrafgentile
      @sarrafgentile  ปีที่แล้ว

      I can't handicap your odds. I can tell you thought administrative processing under 221g is typically a delay. It doesn't necessarily mean a denial is likely.

    i had interview 2 weeks before. (paris consulate). everything went smoothly but medical reports didn’t received by embassy because i did medical 2 days before the interview. CO said nothing to be worry and it’s take 7-10 days to arrived. CO didn’t gave me 221g or didn’t gave me any paper of approval. just they gave me one paper which was about “information on the legal rights available to immigrants victim”.
    i asked CO when i will have my passport, within 2 weeks he replied.
    14th june was my interview.
    15 june status show refused
    20 june status update to refused
    21 june status update to Ready
    23 june status update to Ready
    24th june i send inquiries, 26 june they replied “we acknowledge receipt of your medical receipt”
    26 june status update to Ready.
    what do you think about my case status?
    when i can expect to be issued sir?

    After my immigrant visa interview the agent asked me to send the Ivorian marriage certificate.
    I have filed the documents since January 30, 2022 and so far there is no news regarding my file and I have not been contacted.
    After the deposit of the marriage certificate my file was put in administrative procedure.
    I would like to know that the administrative procedure takes how long before the final decision?
    And how much time remains before the end of the administrative procedure of my file?
    This situation is of great concern to me.
    Thank you for your interest in my message.

      Unfortunately the amount of time administrative processing can take in a given case is very unpredicatable.

    My father's case IR5 stucked at Mumbai consulate. The administrative processing, 221g, letter says that most cases are resolved within 3-4 months. My father had served in Army, he was asked to fill a questionnaire in email after the interview. We have 22 days left for the completion of 4 months.
    The date has changed twice when I checked the status of the visa online, but it still shows refused.
    We have been going through unwanted anxiety since June this year. My father,80, needs care. He can't come to the US until the visa is issued.
    What are the solutions available do you think?

      My visa was refused under 221(g) back in October, 2019. They asked me some information regarding my addresses and travel history and after providing them it went to the administrative processing. I haven’t heard anything from them since November 2019. I wanted to visit to Las Vegas for a conference this December and finally decided to reach out to the embassy, they mentioned that administrative processing cases automatically closes after a year and you have to apply again. So I applied and have my appointment date of next year, July 2025 ( longer wait times ). I hope it helps :)

    I applied for F1 student visa on December 2022, and now it has been 6 months I'm stuck in 221g Additional Documents (my resume, plan of study and its practical subjects, list of publications, supervisor's resume). My course start date was on Jan, 3rd 2023, but I postponed to 14th, August 2023. I'm really confused and cannot do anything, neither plan nor think about the future. I lost many great job opportunities since I don't want to sign a contract if I'm not sure I can work with them for 1 year or not.
    Any similar cases, appreciate if you share your experience.

    But when i checked out my status on CEAC it appears as follows: (please inform me had they changed my case to 221g or should i believe in 114b?)
    please read the below text what shows on CEAC in my case. thanku in advance
    A U.S. consular officer has adjudicated and refused your visa application. Please follow any instructions provided by the consular officer. If you were informed by the consular officer that your case was refused for administrative processing, your case will remain refused while undergoing such processing. You will receive another adjudication once such processing is complete. Please be advised that the processing time varies and that you will be contacted if additional information is needed.
