Denial and AP

[Sofiyya 1,687]

After the interview, it seems that the applicant's status and what happens next isn't always fully explained nor understood. After your SO leaves and can't fully explain to you what they gave him because he's not sure, what are the tells? If they're sending your info to DC, what does that mean? Is there different color paper? What should we know? I'm particularly interested in what comes out of Casa.

Thank you!

You will know if you are denied. The reason people are confused about AP is that they are given the 221g paper that at first glance looks like a denial, but upon closer reading it only states the visa can not be issued due to X reason.

Sarah posted a copy of this form somewhere. I t might be in the uploaded files/photos or in the Casa thread. I think we mnay have a copy of my husband's 221g and I can try to scan an dupload it if we can;t find Sarah's/

The 221g says something like, "You have been found inelegible for a visa due to section 221g for the following reasons:"

Then standard AP will say something like: "your case requires additional processing, we will contact you when processing is complete."

While the return to USCIS will say something like: "your case is being returned to BCIS due to questions regarding the validity of the relationship."

IOW, it's pretty easy to tell from the 221g whether you are just in regular AP, or if your petition was returned. Maybe some people still have copies of theirs that they can put up as examples.

Sarah posted this 221g last summer (i think). This is the same form Idir received after his interview in january, so I doubt it has changed as of today.

Thank you, MBP! That's what we needed!

a little clearer, easier to read example, with the additional processing part in english.

Thanks. Suppose you get that, with the check where it is, but no explantion. Should you worry? They kept all the certificates, police, court, etc., but said nothing about calling and gave no further instructions. Is that a bad sign?

I've never heard of them not filling in comments to explain the reason for the 221g. I don't know if it would be a bad sign, but it would definitely worry me!

From what I've seen here, anything returned to USCIS is a denial, not AP and you need to do what you can right away to keep it from coming back here. Contact chiquita and kiya immediately.

Someone confirm this sine I'm only going off what I've read here.

The cases here from Casa do not mean AP as in, the consulate is finalizing name checks, for example. It's meant soft denial and the petition leaving the consulate only gets it into never never land. Read Kiya's pinned thread.

I agree contact Chiquita and or Kiya asap. This sounds like they are going to deny it and it will come back to the USCIS service center that originally approved it.
