I understand what you mean, but the consideration and understanding of the questions depends on the ability of the person, so she told me (my wife) that she thought it was about the blood family. As you said, I can explain now it will not change anything because the officer who interviewed us dealt with two different answers. We pray for the best and get approval soon. Thank you for your help 

Hi,

I received this email today after writing to the consulate regarding our application pending for a year now, this what they responded " Visa applications are adjudicated in accordance with the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and applicable federal regulations.  Your case has been refused under section 221(g) of the INA.  An application may be refused under section 221(g) of the INA when required or supporting documents are incomplete or while the consular officer verifies information submitted in support of an application.  Please be advised the completion time for this process may take 90 days and in some cases six months or longer. The Consulate is unable to issue a visa if the applicant’s visa application is still pending administrative processing. The consulate is also unable to waive or influence the amount of time that this processing may take. Please be assured that you will be contacted as soon as this process is complete.. My question is why wait one year to let us know that the visa has been refused and why keep my passport for such long periods until now?.... There's still any hope, because now we are confused and don't know what to do, my wife even requests that that Lincoln Senator to try to see why our case it taking long but she didn't hear from her yet.... So we are lost we need help please.

You don’t seem to get it yet. I’ll say it right to the point. Yes, you just explained it to us, we get it. 

 

However, you are not able to explain that to whoever interviewed both of you. So whoever interviewed you both will only know that they asked a question that should have been an obvious same answer but they got a different answer.

 

because let’s be honest, it’s rare that a couple at a wedding will not know who their spouse considers as ‘family’ and ‘not family’. 

 

We are trying to explain to you the issues / problems we are seeing with your case which might be causing the delay but if you insist that those aren’t issues to YOU instead of thinking in the viewpoint of those in charge, it’s not going to change anything. 

 

Note that yes, you can explain it to us here but we aren’t the ones making the decision and the ones making the decision are not privy to your explanations. 

 

Hopefully you get a reply back from them soon. I understand that the whole uncertainty of being nowhere is the worst thing to happen, but these things tend happen for a reason (most of the time). Good luck.

A visa must be approved or refused. Since the visa application did not meet the requirements to be approved due to additional processing being needed, it must be refused. But it's what's called a "soft" refusal - they will complete their processing then re-evaluate the application.

Thanks for your additional information, it gives us hope.
