CEAC SAYS REFUSED

[salboreni 12]

My husband had his interview at the embassy on Feb. 3, 2014. The CO told him he was approved, took his passport, and told him that he would have his visa within 2 weeks. Friday we checked the status on CEAC, and it changed from Ready, to Refused. The embassy sent me this email...with no further explanation.

Dear Madam:

Thank you for contacting us. Your case is pending due to required additional administrative processing. Administrative processing refers to various additional steps that must be taken before a visa can be issued. Typically, this process lasts at least 9 months but, on occasion, it can take longer. We are not able to take any further action until the additional administrative processing is complete. Once the additional administrative processing is complete, a consular officer will review the case. The following documents may require renewal at the conclusion of the administrative processing:

1. Police certificates: valid for one year from the date of issuance.

2. DS-260/DS-230 part I and II: valid for one year from the date of signature.

3. Medical report: valid for six months from the date of the exam.

You may now check on the status of your pending immigrant visa application online by visiting the Department of State’s Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) website: https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/.

We are heart broken..how can they do this, after approval at the embassy and taking his passport

You are in AP. It can be only a temporary refusal, though it can be long.

What country was it in? We need to know that to give any decent answers.

Read up about AP. All is not lost. Usually it is a temporary refusal while they do extra background checks. That means once they are done he would be approved. Unfortunately there is no set timeline, it could be weeks or months. Good luck.

hello so how did this turn out. my husband went to his interview 4/23/2015 interview went smooth until officer stated that my husband had a charge of a knife and weed found on him 12 years ago. So the officer requested that he send in arrest records and clearance letter from the court which was sent 4/29/2015 so now just a waiting game ceac website still states refusal. This is Kingston Jamaica embassy.
