Please provide a link to where you read that from USCIS as USCIS has nothing to do with regulating anything with USEM. If you have a cell phone when entering the embassy they will deny entry to the embassy they will not deny the visa. Once you remove the cell phone from your person they will let you enter.
Here is what the embassy states on their website:
NOTICE TO VISA APPLICANTS


Cell Phones Not Permitted on Embassy Grounds
For the safety and security of all applicants and employees, visa applicants are not permitted to bring cell phones or other electronic devices into the U.S. Embassy. Applicants who bring such devices will be denied entry. Please make arrangements to leave your electronic equipment in a safe location off Embassy grounds during your interview appointment. We regret any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your cooperation.

I'd sure like to know where you get this from? You are not supposed to bring your cell phone, but nothing anywhere says it is automatic deny if you do. If you are going to be taking about automatic deny, please use facts when you post.
