The detail description is for the people who also went through the administrative process for their B1/B2 US visitor visa case. My parents applied for US visitor visa on Nov 03rd 2022 from Ottawa consulate, their interview went smooth and officer approved the visa. We were then instructed to collect the passport whenever we got the email. On nov 07 we did received my mothers passport back with the visa on it but didn’t received it for my father. At that time my father online status was showing Approved and it remained the same till nov 14th. During this time we didn’t heard anything regarding his passport. On Nov 15th the CEAC case status changed from approved to refused and that was the time of getting panic for me. Upon getting information online and from some of the my friends i was able to understand that refused does not means that my father is denied for Visa but the case is under administrative process (AP). Then on Nov 24th almost 10 days pass by the CEAC status changed from Refused to Approved and then the very next day it again changed from Approved to Issued. Finally after those stressful 25 days we received my father’s passport back with the visa on it. During these 25 days they kept my father’s passport with them and upon emailing them we were receiving auto generated reply and nothing else. After the interview the visa officer did said approved for the visa else we were not handed over any kind of form or slips. To advice those who are also getting stressful seeing their CEAC status change from approved to refused that it is actually under administrative process and not a denied case unless the officer on interview day said that you are denied for the visa and returned your passport. When ever the case is under such process they stop showing it as “Administrative Process” just says “Refused” on CEAC. During this status changed cycle if your passport is with them then you don’t have to worry about it let them complete the process and your visa will be issued. FYI there is a chances that they might returned your passport back and again asked for it once the process is complete to issue the visa so keep your hopes alive and lord will make things easy for everyone. Thank you

Applied for visa via dropbox for myself, wife and 3 kids. My last child who is only 5yrs actually had a valid which expires in 4-months. Rest of the family had expired visas of 10-months. I was the primary applicant and indicated i will paying for all costs associated with travel. Just checked CEAC. My status says REFUSED. That of my wife and 2 of my children says ISSUED. The 5 year old has a status that says ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING. A bit confused. Thinking if they were not comfortable with me they would not issue to all of us. And why does a 5yr old have administrative processing status when her older brothers and mother have issued visas. We have all travelled to the US together in the past without any overstays, criminal record etc. I work at the same institution as last previous physical interview and probably more senior now. I haven't received any communication via mail yet as the status on CEAC only updated yesterday. Any thoughts?

What is the processing time for H1b 221g in June 2021

[@shirlynlambe9166]

Can you explain, what you mean by giving back documents and passport

[@done-hardex4biz798]

Please I was given 214b letter. But my passport was not given back to me. I still see on my CGI portal that "your passport is still with us at the embassy. What do I do in this case?

[@19domenica]

The reason why, I also dont know when I will get my passport again…

If I receive any adjudication will i have it sent by email or phone number?

[@willygoeswrong3655]

Hi. I have a pretty weird question for you... so, our embassy in Moscow is actually closed right now, but I’ve joined the lawsuit and it forced them to ask NVC to send my case to the embassy. They received it, everything was fine, the status switched to “ready”, they also told me that they are going to schedule my interview in January. Today it was changed to “refused”, but the description below was long, like on the first screenshot that you showed. I emailed them, but I assume that they are not going to be helpful, like usual. Any advice? :(

[@RedBus2US]

Well, if it is long text, it is likely that it is in some administrative processing. Give it some time and then follow up with them.

It is pretty generic, all we can do is wait. Usually, it would have tick box on the 221g that tells the reason.

[@basharfarhad9221]

Hi, thanks for the video. My interview was a year ago and they kept my passport. Now I find my status REFUSED ....which was earlier Administrative Processing.....and now showing the long one para of texts for admin processing. But received an email 3 days ago to collect my passport from the collection point. But still the online status is REFUSED and the texts below are for those long one para regarding admin processing!! Cannot collect the passport due to COVID19 issue now. Just guessing....what happened to the visa. Any idea?

[@RedBus2US]

Don't worry, the online status can be misleading. Until you see the passport, you cannot say the status, if it issued or you need to submit anything. Try to call them or email them,.
