Said VISA was OK'd, but then got 221g

[mwh710 1]

My best friends fiance' had her interview yesterday & at the end they said that she should have her VISA in about a week.  Then today she gets a email that says the VISA has been refuse per 221g - see attached.  It says it needs more documentation, but doesn't list any.  Any insight would be helpful.

 

 

Thanks

Everyone goes through Administrative Processing even when your visa is approved. Ideally it would be for few hours or couple days. However, no one can predict how long it is gonna take them to perform that processing. It can take weeks, months, and in rare occasions years.

 

It sounds like they have further background check to perform. You never know what they are after. Good luck to your friend.

Did she register her address online?

Like other's have said, everyone goes through some form of AP. This was a little delayed it seems if she did not receive this until a week after the interview. For our K-1 interview for instance, it was approved at the interview, then within 2 days online status on CEAC went to AP, then 2 days later back to "Ready" then "Issued" within 8-9 business days total. 

Each case is unique though so they may be having to do some extra checks and verification.

To boot, when she looks up her case - it says "Refused"

CEAC - status.  The interviewer said expect VISA in a week, then it is refused the very next day?  Something is wrong......  Yes she has put her delivery address at the time of the Interview appointment.

I have seen this a few times recently, where a refused isn't an outright refused. It is more of a "refused right now". Technically if you read the 221g form (the blue one) its a conditional refusal, so it isn't wrong per se.

What #'s did you call to get your answer.  The last date of review has changed 2X's, but still says Refused in Blue and no email from Embassy....
