My k1 case was approved at the interview. They took my passport did not ask for any additional  paperwork  and said I'd recieve my visa in 2 weeks. My interview date was March 3 ceac updated it on March 6th to administrative processing now on march 19 it changed to refused after I was told the case was approved ?? Any advice the consular officer sounded very happy with my case my interview was in sydney Australia.

do you mind telling what exactly your Refused status says?

its probably going under more administrative processing.

Hi guys...my visa is Cr1...I had my interview in the end of jan 2020. My case has been pending in AP since then. As u all know that all of us got our status changed from AP to Refused around 3rd/4rth march

 

I just want to ask anybody who got approved after that. I got few updates after 3rd march..like my date updated to 5th march...then 12th march...nd on 13th it got changed to AP again. My status went to AP again from refused on 13th march 2020.

 

I have noticed in many cases that when a person goes to AP from refused, the person got issued visa the very next day. But, I did not get any update after 13th march when my status went from refused to AP again. Anybody with similar case?

 

As per my understanding if a person goes from refused to AP, it can only mean that the case is done with the so called longer AP thing...otherwise why would the status change from refused to AP(when all other people still have refused status)....ANY SIMILAR CASES?

Whats ur story mate...when was thw interviw...which consulate...did u get 221g? For what reason u got 221g...did status go to AP before going issued...if yes...when did it go AP from refused...how long it stay in AP before issued?

[k1800vti 1]

The interview was contacted in January with the reason of lack of domicile proof for me (partitioner). Yes, the creepy "status" was shown just like everyone else for 3 weeks and now issued!

 

Good luck to everyone. Does anyone know if the deadline can be prospered due to the uncertain pandemic condition?

Mate...did it directly go from refused to issued? or it went first to AP? If it went to AP first...then how many days it stays in AP before going to issued?

AP, Refused (just like everyone else), then issued in 3 weeks after document submission, hope it helps.

Receive ds 5535 - after 3 hours of interview

Case date updates(I never sent any email to consulate to ask the status of my case.)

As u all know, our case statuses changed to refused on 3rd/4rth march...on 13 march friday(refused status changed to AP status again). At this point, I guessed that my AP was over.

hello everyone!

 

i need information that:

 

1) how long duration it takes when a case returns to US consulate (ISB) once reaffirmed by USCIS officer?

2) what next is expected from CO officer in US consulate (ISB) as soon it reach out to him/her?

3) how long it will take to make decision and issue a visa for (221g) case, if interview in past already done

 

also, a case with noir status, what need to do considering noir notice might be in transit from USCIS. can applicant/petitioner himself/herself respond? and how long it takes for a final outcome of nior?

 

can @Ahmed&Freda, or anyone had similar experience will answer above.
