Hey so to anyone seeing this comment i did my interview on November 30,2022 and my visa was refused however i sent my mom marriage certificate on the same day to the email address instructed by the consular officer i think the quicker you send what was requested on the 221 g the better. My ceac status showed refused until January 4,2022 it changed to administrative processing and January 5, 2022 issued (if you are in the ir 2 category being filed for by your mom bring her marriage certificate)
I got that refused and bawled like a baby. I sent what was outstanding April 29, 2022. It said received . Still waiting to get back my passport. Thanks for the update.
Hi! We had our immigration visa (F31) interview on 19th March 2024. The officer gave us a 221g slip and ticked some documents that she asked us to submit. She also ticked on the box which said to send passports via courier. After that our visa status showed refused. We submitted all the ticked documents on 15th April. Our case got updated on 23rd April but still showed refused. It got updated again on 25th April then on the 29th of April but still shows refused. Any idea why
Hi @plummetlove. Just want to thank you for always answering my questions and to let you know that I received my visa. I did my medical on the 1st of July, interview on the 15th and got the email on the 20th that my book was ready for pick up.
I file for my husband of 25yrs,I saw refused and almost had a stroke,then I checked yesterday n saw Issued, but since interview n medi/ we have not heard anything via email
My name was misspelled at ds260 and the consular give me white 221g with administrative processing and submit passport via courier if you know something about this situation please help me thanks.
Hi @Plummerlove. I hope you are well. Hubby got his interview and medical exam done last month. We are still waiting. Last thing I know all his medical were sent to the US Embassy last week. There was no 221g form because they scheduled his medical after the interview. So he is still ‘refused’ in the system as of 26 July .I believe he is visa will be issued soon,
Yaaas! I’ve been MIA but I’m super happy to hear! Once his medical was sent over he will definitely be issued soon. Hit me up with the good news. 🍾🍾🍾🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi, i had my h1b interview on 17-03-2023 at sydney embassy. Officer returned my passport and gave yellow 221g slip without asking any documents just ticked on Administrative Processing. My doubt is how much time it takes to approve , why officer returned my passport ? Could you please suggest .
Hi i did my interview 10th of august they said everything was okay they were just waiting on my medical from Andrews. I see last case update august 16 now is September 4 and I’m seeing refused
What is AP?? Is it possible for the accompany to have their visa before the applicant?? The consulate said both the applicant and accompany visa was approved.. Nooo outstanding documents was requested or no forms was issued.. but when log in to check the statuses.. the applicant has Administrative processing and the accompany was issued their visa..
Help here my medical was sent over last week Wednesday then it show case last update ,it’s Friday n all now it’s saying refused I did my interview April 2,2024.
When all the documents aren’t available at the time of your interview, they have to find time to go back to review the newly submitted documents, the medical in your case. This can take up to 60 days, not saying that it will take that long, but just letting you know that you don’t have to worry that anything is wrong.🤗
@@plummerlove ok thank you like how the medical submit last week it can still be 60 days period they constantly open my case cause it’s showing cause last update, jus praying it can come tru by end of this month

Hey dear. I would reach out to the embassy to find out, chances are they are backed up like the other embassies, but I’m not aware of B1/B2 taking so long to process. Call them.
@Kiran Bg I call them asking for my passport and they told me..they can give it to me but the visa won't be in till they are done with the administration processing..

HELP!!! Am in administrative processing from August 26th 2022 and first updated October 04th 2022 which means they're checking out..Still showing refused.

So I have done my medical twice in 8 months and still unable to receive my documents or passport. I have sent in all requested document and they say received, yet still nothing. Why let me redo the medical and still nothing as yet? not sure if you have an answer for that. It's really frustrating at times as I can't hear anything, and so expensive.
I feel your frustration. How long ago did you send in all the required document? It’s a bit strange that they would have your documents until your medical expired. You don’t have to answer me this, but it’s something for you to think about, is there something in your case that they could be investigating?
