with so little info and no idea of what type of visa or a timeline, no one can really advise u but you need a better understanding of immigration A 221(g) refusal for a visa application means the consular officer needs more information or additional processing before making a final decision. It doesn't necessarily mean the visa has been denied, but it can cause delays. In the context of an I-601 waiver, a 221(g) refusal might occur if the consular officer requires further documentation or clarification before determining if the waiver is applicable. a real denial can be appealed Yes, you can appeal a denial of your Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility. You have 30 days from the denial date to file Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, with the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO). You can also reapply if your circumstances change.

If you read thru instructions for the I 601, you will see it says after interview (you may be told by CO you can file this form) https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-601instr.pdf If you are an applicant for an immigrant, K, or V nonimmigrant visa (and you are outside the United States, have had a visa interview with a consular officer, and during the interview, you were found inadmissible,) or you are an applicant for adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence (excluding adjustment categories listed below,) you may file this application to obtain relief from the following grounds: the form is not sent in with the I 130 petition

Basically you are asking US Senator to look into a case -for u- and the tourist petition is not yours you can not petition for parent as the petitoner (as per say) although many of us fill out the paperwork like i did as Mother does not read or write BUT still you have no rights with this application / the rights belong to the foreigner And anytime a person asks Senator for help (if they could and in this case they can't do it for u and your parent have no US rights) all they can get is same info from embassy you could get they can not assist parent must qualify on his/her own

although casa is hard for interviews and visa issues , the last month reported (February) show 56 k1's issued As long as your case has no red flags and the pending immigrant shows good knowledge of the USC and USC lifestyle then best to u both Understand that the biggest red flag is large age difference with the USC (a woman ) older than young Moroccan but education differences , lack of job experience for the Moroccan, absence of Morocco family approval, woman not of child bearing age, and differences of religion also play into the interview so, good luck to you both

Check following site to know status/ If visa issued it should say so If still in AP, it should say so If denied , it should say that https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

Another vote for staying in home country and going to IR 5 interview and understand that if they cancelled to come on tourist visa, CBP can see the IR5 petition and cancel the B2 on the spot as the current petition show immigrant intent chances are they can be sent back on the next plane

DOS choses over the 55,000 entries and what happens is someone does not qualify (could be for lack or education and/or work experience) or they do not need to interview and DOS goes to the list of standbys that are already been chosen and notified

No, if your were not among those selected as USCIS overselects as some do not qualify so extras are already there and no new drawing will take place so they already have the over 55,000 selected Here's why the DOS over-selects: Ineligibility: Some winners may not meet the requirements for a DV, such as not having the necessary education or work experience, or having criminal records. Failure to pursue the process: Some winners may not be able to obtain the required documentation or financial resources in time, or they may simply choose not to pursue the visa process. Time limitations: The DV program has a time window for processing applications, and the DOS needs to ensure all visas are issued before the end of the fiscal year.
