221(G) Tracker

Hello everyone, The counselor asked for my sponsor’s bank statement and salary statement which I did not have on position on the interview. So after I had finished my NIV interview the counselor given me a 221g and advised me to send my sponsor’s bank statement and salary statement via the Empost which I did on the same day. I still didn't know where do I stand in the application. So I had checked the official visa status check website. It shows that my visa has been refused on the 9th of May which is the day of my interview. Although my documents had arrived at the U.S Embassy in Abu Dhabi on the 10th of May. Is this a final decision or my case is still pending? Please do understand my confusion. Thanks

03/15- VO issued Blue slip for SOW and Contract 04/15- Document submitted 05/05- Received mail to submit passport -Your case has been updated, please log back into your account to view the details. 05/06- Submitted passport -- 05/07- Status changed to AP from refused. 05/08--Still waiting for next updated .

I have interview on May 4th . And the officer asked me to submit the form SD-5535 so I did . And still waiting for answer

VO asked the routine questions. Also Qs focused on my past Govt career. Emailed Resume, detailed Work history, Travel history etc same day and received auto response of receipt. Followed up via emails twice. Received standard response of adm processing. Passport still with consulate. Is it a good idea to email the consulate for update? My case was also created a day before my actual interview date. Anyone else experienced it? CEAC case update: 29 Apr 2021: Adm processing 3 May 2021: issued 6 May 2021: Passport received with Visa.

Hi, I submitted my Passport and required documents as listed in the Interview letter, at the Dropbox on 21st of April On 22nd of April the status on CEAC portal is shown as "Refused" As of 7th May, the status remains the same and the last review was only 22nd Does anyone has a same situation? Is the processing at Hyd Consul going slow? When I call the Support number, they say, it's in "Administrative Processing" When can we expect a response? Any idea? Thanks in advance Venkat

Hi all, This is for 1st time h1 stamping and I had an in person interview in Delhi. VO said visa approved and no slips were given. I did not get any emails asking for more details either. The case remains refused from the date of interview Today (04/30) I got my passport back with no stamp but a yellow slip. It only says administrative processing and no documents specified. Has anyone come across this scenario?? Appreciate any leads TIA

I submitted the requested documents like travel history, research, publications... etc on 2 March 2021. It took 51 days (37 business days) before the last case update date changed. Case status updates: February 25 - April 21 : Refused April 22 : Administrative Processing April 23 : Application Received April 23 : Administrative Processing ( the status changed on the same day ) April 26: Issued

Visa officer asked the following questions on 02/23/21 during my interview: -What is your position? -Where were you in June 2020? -What is your highest degree? -Subject of the highest degree? (My response "3D printing" triggered a Technology Alert List hit) -What substances do you print? Metals, carbon fiber, boron, ceramics etc. etc.? -What other technologies are you involved in? -Asked me for right hand fingerprints -Handed me a blue slip and told me my visa is on 221g hold Submitted all blue slip docs on 02/25/21. Since then the status on CEAC was "Refused." Received email to submit PP on 04/15, exactly after 7 weeks. Documents asked during PP submission in the email were PP, 797 and printed email. At the local visa center they additionally asked for the original 221g blue slip and position confirmation letter, so please carry all docs with you. CEAC date changed to 04/19 but still Refused. CEAC date changed to 04/22 and AP. CEAC date changed 04/23 and Issued. Good luck!

H1B extension, eligible for Dropbox, had an OWVI in Jan 2016 3/22/2021: documents submitted at Hyderabad VAC Dropbox (passport, photos, copies of current and former 797, employment verification document) 3/23/2021: CEAC status - Refused 3/24/2021: Asked to appear for interview on April 12 (passport still with consulate) 4/12/2021: Appeared for interview, usual questions on title, firm, location, salary. Then asked to provide court documents from the OWVI case, luckily I was carrying them. The officer said ‘your visa is issued’ 4/12/2021: CEAC status changed to Admin Processing with note if visa was approved it will be available in 2 business days. 4/15/2021: CEAC still admin processing. When I emailed CEAC, they said your visa is refused for admin processing. I’m not sure what is going on since the consulate officer said it was issued. Update: 4/19/2021: the CEAC website tracking shows ‘Issued’!! One step closer, no news yet on when I can pick up passport.
