I had my stamping (H1B) in January 2020 at Chennai consulate and was issued 221g blue slip - VO returned my Passport ,In March my status changed to “AP” from Refused (date also updated) and on May 6 ,2020 got changed from AP to “Application Received” (date also updated)...

please can anyone say what does it mean ?

 

Note: 

Very next day after the interview my employer had submitted the documents that had been asked in the interview.....consulate had acknowledged the documents in the same day..

It looks like they started working on 221G cases in India.. Many  H1B 221Gs got updated around May 8th.

 yes it’s a new term refused is being used for the applicants whose case is under Administrative Process....so don’t worry....it’s just a waiting game...

Hi Ebip,

Is there any update on your case?

Hi Navayu,

No I didn’t get any update... but Chennai Consulate has been issuing visas and stamped passports back to people whose passport is with the consulate... so hope for the best.. but they are not processing the cases whose passport is not with the consulate... sad though
