Denial / appeals

[ScottThuy 140]

With discussions in K1 and other Visa topics focusing on the process of getting the visa and for the most part getting through the interview, would it be beneficial to have an area that is dedicated to those that have been denied and sent back to USCIS so there is a resource for those that are suddenly in that situation rather than them posting in regional and other generic areas? This may be applicable to those in AP as well as having a resource that is situation specific... Having an area like this could reduce the number of topics posted as there could be pinned topics for these issues in that area...

Techinically, there already is a section dedicated to denials and AP - 221(g)'s are issued, and those are covered by the waiver forum. Oftentimes, people prefer to post in the regional forums though when they find themselves in this situation, since reasons for and ways of dealing with the 221(g) can be specific to the consulate that issued it.

I would agree though that a pinned topic regarding 221(g)'s would be a good idea in the waiver forum, much like the pinned returned petition topic that now exists in the MENA forum.

True, that the initial reason for 221(g) issuance of a blue or even denial can be consulate specific, the overall process once it is returned to USCIS is not much different... I see so many posts saying .. Got denied.. what do I do now?.. only to get a response like "hire an immigration atty."

There have been enough here that have gone through this exact thing, that there could be a guide for when things don't go as expected...

It would be interesting to do some sort of time line for denials. So that others could see what happens after denial. Right now you can only slice and dice data on positive visa flows. How long does it take to get back to NVC or the service center. How long before you hear anything, results from service requests, revocation vs reaffirmed vs expired. People in denial are looking for data and it is lacking to some extent here.

Good thinking... also, a timeline function for 221(g) delays (until rejection or issuance of the visa). However, as helpful as much of this might be, implementation could result in our getting technically would up in our own underwear from a programming standpoint (Cap'n E.?) or a user standpoint (users not understanding intricacies or not filling in enough information for the function to be statistically meaningful). Si, man?

I am sure there are people here that could throw some quick code together like Igors list was originally

I need to probably enter some new data fields to the timeline system to allow proper tracking. While I am at it I am open to ideas for other additional data fields that would better track things. Thoughts?

Allow for a negative interview result Returned denied ??

date petition returned

date last touched

Date of last uscis action and what . A Touch revoke denied reaffirmed

Date of next action and what new interview refile went from k1 to CR1

and a way to have a second path to a new interview

Date of second interview

Absolutely everything that NigeriaorBust suggests, plus perhaps a checkbox to indicate whether the second interview was a Stokes.

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

A way to record the general reason. Lack of Bonifide relationship, misrepresentation those kind of things so you can find peoples timelines with the same issue

Bump We have had a new spat of denials out of Lagos and it would be nice to be able to do some predictions.
