Hi just want to ask, why did you get the refused status? Coz my husband's case was changed from AP to refused on March 3, 2020 but he was approved on his interviewast Feb. 27 and no additional documents were required from him.

Visa isn't actually approved at the interview, actual approval doesn't happen until CEAC status shows ISSUED.

 

CEAC has been experiencing a glitch, many are seeing REFUSED even though the embassy has not requested additional documents.

 

Just to cover all the bases, check your email SPAM folder to make sure the embassy didn't send anything.

Hi Greenbaum my status finally changed from refused to Ready then to administrative processing then it finally changed to issued !!! I wanna know does it usual take the embassy to send a email to come to pick up your passport ??

I have not Idea about your embassy ans I can't ascertain which embassy it is as it's not in your profile picture to the left column. Each embassy is different. Instructions for pickup will be in your P3 interview letter.

It's not a glitch, any case in AP is technically refused under 221(g) until the consular officers are sure that the person is eligible and can be granted the visa.

On March 3, 2020, the Department of State made an update to the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) website, our online portal for visa applicants. A visa applicant whose case previously displayed as being in “Administrative Processing” on his or her case status page now displays as being “refused.”

There has been no change in such applicants’ actual cases. This is an administrative change to more accurately communicate case status to applicants.

Visa applicants whose case status on CEAC had previously displayed as “Administrative Processing” had been refused under section 221(g) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

Although some refusals under INA section 221(g) can be overturned, the change in the CEAC correctly reflects that the applicant’s visa application has been refused.  That status may change if the applicant can demonstrate to a consular officer he or she is eligible for a visa or if information comes to the attention of the consular officer from other sources that resolve any outstanding issues relating to the applicant’s eligibility for the visa.

The applicant should refer to the instructions the consular officer gave at the end of the visa interview and to travel.state.gov/visas for more information about his or her case.

Greenbaum,

Your hot link to 2GO in first reply is broke.

Here's a good one for 2GO: http://supplychain.2go.com.ph/

I just tried our MNL # for visa issued on 5/15 but came up empty. 2GO may not have it yet. I'll try again on Monday.

MNL# doesn't work most times with immigrant visas.  The UID # works usually
