Hi guys
I apologize if this has been answered before and if it has please guide me towards the right forum.
My friends parents has visited the US multiple times, they both got B2 visas twice as well.
They applied again in march of 2019 after their visa expired. They were given 221g for administrative processing and asked for some documents which were provided (birth certificates)
Since then CEAC shows refused to both
On one the case was last updated on 3rd April 2019 and one other it shows case was last updated August 20th 2019
Both cases were created on 2nd April 2019.
After inquiring multiple times they got (seems to be a generic response stating that the case is in administrative processing and can take upto 90 days) it's been over 2 years.
1) what are the options here?
2) has the embassy just sent it back to NVC/CEAC for the case to die?
3) can they re apply but how do we know that if the application is dead already? Is there a way to revoke it?
4) the son is now a US citizen, would it be better to just apply for a IR1? Quicker and better? If yes what should be we do about the Bermuda triangle B2 visa application which we don't know is dead or not? How will that effect the IR1?
Any guidance toward the right thread or any input and answers will be highly appreciated.
This is for Islamabad embassy in Pakistan
Thanks
