refused

[Style brother 2]

You've got nothing to worry about. I'm in the same position. The status went from  "Administrative processing" to "refused". Been doing some research myself. I even sent an email to the embassy. I suggest you do so too if that makes you more at ease. I think they may have you retake you medical examination as your last one should have expired by now. The pandemic slowed the process down. Its not supposed to take this long.

this what I found on CEAC today. is it over ? or the case is being investigated further? what do you guys think?

 

You've got nothing to worry about. It's just an administrative change. I'm in the same position. The status went from  "Administrative processing" to "refused". Been doing some research myself.

I did all this again even a 2nd interview December 10th 2020 they took my passport since but today I receive this text message saying my fiancé has withdrawn the I-129f and will receive further information about this via dhl, that what make me confuse the more lol, but thx you 

I had to do another examination myself and resubmit my passport last month. You need to send them an email or give them a call if you are sure your fiancé didn't withdraw the application. There must be a mix up then.

that's weird. Hopefully it's nothing negative as the status doesn't say Denied. In a few days you should know whats up. Best wishes.

The status say “ Ready” that’s my thought too, it’s should say Denied Or something

I'm confused.  Did they tell you at the interview there was an approval?  Did they give you something about abuse and steps to retrieve passport? It's strange to be sitting on it for year.  After a few months and told I was approved, I would have got a lawyer.

 

There are cases where they keep your passport and do not give you a 221g if they are sending something back to the USCIS for security checks of something, but this is rare.  

 

The good news is they still have the passport.  And you are fortunate to get into CEAC.  That site never works for me.

This topic is like a dog chasing its tail. Let me explain what is happening with "refused" conditions.

 

Having applied for US Visa and received 221g Administrative Processing for your case, you would have checked your visa status on CEAC website. When you check the status, you used to see status of “Administrative processing”, but that would have changed to “refused” from March 3, 2020. Many users have reported and its verified as well that most of the 221g Cases status has changed to “Refused”, even when there was no real update on their ‘Case Last Updated Date’ or anything has changed. One key thing to note is the text under it has changed. It reads like below now.

 

“A U.S. Consular Officer has adjudicated and refused your visa application. Please follow any instructions provided by the consular officer. If you were informed by the consular officer that your case was refused for administrative processing, your case will remain refused while undergoing such processing. You will receive another adjudication once such processing is complete. Please be advised that the processing time varies and that you will be contacted if additional information is needed. For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV or the website for the Embassy or Consulate at which you made your visa application. For more information, please visit U.S. Consulate General <Consulate name>”

 

Pay close attention to the bold text, it basically tells that, if you were given Administrative processing, then it will be processed in administrative processing.

What my fiance  was told by the officer was " I have the intention of approving your visa"   She did get information regarding abuse and such;   A few days later she  got a call regarding her half brother relationship with her and why wasn't he listed as a relative, she went on to explain that as a half brother didn't grow up close to him . Last contact t was another call to verify contact information. 

Then Covid came and I don't know if that has any bearing on the story.

Judging by the trend of the responses and I thank you guys for your input .The consensus seems to be the lack of clarity  over the changes on  legal language; however, after an interview who leaves you in good spirits (9/30/19)  this length of time seems to be the exception and not the norm.
