Refused or Pending Visas
Administrative Processing: 221(g)
If your visa application was refused with a "221 (g)" notation for further administrative processing, please read the instructions below.
The Consulate cannot provide additional details on your case status. This processing is mandatory, and cannot be expedited. We cannot predict how long this process will take as it varies based on the individual circumstances of each case. When the administrative processing on your application is completed, you will see your CEAC barcode in the report below.
Visa Refusal: 214(b)
If your visa was refused 214(b), it means your application has been denied. This decision cannot be appealed. However, you may reapply by following the standard nonimmgrant visa process. All required fees must be paid again, and you must schedule a new appointment. Please review the information on the letter given at the time of your refusal.
