CEAC Status Change

[J-S 22]

Hello eceryone
I wanted to ask you a question.
I had i Interview on 20 October,given 221g form to submit ds 5535.I did that and send it to embassy next day.
On November 30 changed to Nonimigrant visa aplication, status Refused with new date case created November 30.
Then on 8 December status changed to Adimistrative processing,but today status again changed to Refused.

Is this normal or should we be worried.
Thank you.

Refused can also be Administrative processing. DOS made a change in the CEAC. If your "refused" displays as shown in the attached image, then you are still in AP, no need to fret.

Do you know why you may have gotten DS5535? Any connections with MENA countries?

[J-S 22]

Thanks everyone.

No connections with MENA countries,given 221 g form to fill and send DS 5535,called them couple days ago,everything looks ok.

No one can say with any certainty. Some take days, some weeks, some months, and some over a year. They don't stamp your visa they issue and place a visa that is adhered to one of the pages of your passport. The act of just pasting is the final act to getting your passport returned. It's what goes on before the visa is printed and placed in your passport. Stay connected to CEAC for reviewing the process.

 

As a K1, when checking your case online at CEAC.state.gov you must select "immigrant visa" as it is treated as such even though it is a "non-immigrant visa". Once you can no longer see any information for your case using "immigrant visa" choose non-immigrant and you will see the status. When it changes from one to the other your visa is almost ready for "issue". Keep watching and when it reaches "issue" status you will soon be contacted by the Embassy to receive your passport with visa intact.
