Hi @YudyJ, Can you kindly ask visa officer’s stand on what should be put in the DS160 for the question ‘Has your US visa ever been refused’ if a prior visa (lets say B1/B2) was approved but post 221g (administrative processing). Do the visa officers see that approval ‘overcome’ the temporary refusal during adjudicating the case at the consulate?

[@udetivisa]

You have never been refused in this case as you overcome 221g. So, enter "no" in the DS-160 for that question.

[@avimathur6653]
