H4 221-g - Yellow Slip - Status - Refused - Admin Processing - Refused

[kumar1505]

My wife got an 221-g yellow slip for H4 visa in New Delhi. Visa officer retained her passport. I have been watching status since then. Initially status showed as Refused and next day it changed to Admin Processing. Then, the next day, it changed again to Refused.

What does it mean? is her visa refused? do we get an email stating that visa is refused? How do I know for sure that Visa is refused or it is still in admin processing?

Hi Member,

What does it mean? is her visa refused? do we get an email stating that visa is refused? How do I know for sure that Visa is refused or it is still in admin processing?
Answer: Normally if you see the status as refused, it includes one of the below reasons.

• Pending for additional documents/information
• * Administrative Processing
• Cases with a waiver request pending.
• Denied under Section 214(b) of the INA.

If consulate needs additional documents they will request through Email.. If you have not got anything and your passport is returned back then it will be considered as denied..
Please let me know, what happened on your visa application.

Thanks
