Refused Visa Application Prior to the interview appointment

[Elaine Villaflor 2]

Our visa application got refused and our papers got expired. Our supposed interview last March 23 got cancelled due to the lock down in Manila. We sent an email to IVManilaReplies@state.gov and received a message "Due to cancelation of the interview appointment, your visa application was administratively refused under section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), and the CEAC will reflect this refusal". They did mentioned that once they continue processing visas, we can reschedule as soon as possible. As I've said earlier, most of our papers were expired including the medical examination in slec and we don't know what we should do. Are we going to send it again through online or have them present at the actual interview? And also my brother aged out, is he already disqualified for the application? I hope that the proclamation shall end soon for the sake of all visa applications.

What visa category is this?

 

in general:

1. When they are ready to reschedule your interview they will tell you what items (medical etc) need to be redone

2. If your brother was IR2, he cannot age out. For other categories (F3, F4 derivatives): CSPA locks the age when a visa is available if the applicant has “sought to acquire” a visa within one year of that date. In practical terms, this means that if your brother filed a DS260 ahead of the interview (assuming your category was current before it was scheduled and he was still under 21 on a CSPA basis then) then his age is already locked under 21.

We have same case expiring soon? My interview was cancel last march 27,2020 due to pandemic? You email the embassy for this matter?

[Elaine Villaflor 2]

Yes, we emailed them continously these past 2 years. Luckily last February they emailed us that our interview was expedited. We did not request for it, but try to request for expedition before the IV fees expires.

You can private message people on this site, no need to ask them for personal identifying information.

Hi Marie jacqueline, can you please let me know if your case has been changed? Do you have a visa now? My status today is 'Expiring soon' and i have not received any instruction from the embassy.  I am worried about my case and dont know how long it will take.
