The US Embassy in India have updated their visa information page to include the mission-critical visa services point on June, 25th under the News and Events. Hopefully we also receive some good news on the Embassy considering Spouse visa as "Mission-Critical" and schedule interviews soon

We were granted an expedited visa interview in Japan (medical reason) and my wife went yesterday to have it. Because she didn't have time to get her medical check beforehand, the embassy suggested doing the interview first and receiving her health check results afterward. After the interview, however, they gave her a document saying that her visa application had been refused due to not having her health check results. They said they would reconsider her application if and when she mails in what she wasn't able to provide at the interview, which is good, but does anyone know if a once-rejected visa application influences later decisions about resubmissions? 

 

I wish they had simply said that her visa application remained pending rather than refused, especially since they suggested doing the interview before getting the health check results.

This is standard procedure--any sort of administrative processing goes into the CEAC system as 'refused'. So don't worry. Just complete the medical and submit the required documents and keep checking back in with your embassy.

It’s common. Refused means they haven’t given you visa. Until you take medical

Thank you, that's good to hear. I figured this was the case, but after having dealt with this visa process for 19 months, and without ever getting an RFE, the word "refused" really worried me (maybe more than it should have). The wording of things matters...

I understand. Congrats on the successful interview!! Yes this changed a while back. They don't put AP anymore and it caused a lot of worry. There are a couple YouTube videos talking about it.

Thank you, but we're not going to celebrate just yet! We're hoping it was successful, of course, but we know that crazy things happen in this process, even at the very end. Knock on wood, though!
