Hello,
I did my interview for J-1 Visa 3 days ago, the officer told me that my visa is approved and you are welcome to US. I also was told that I'll get my visa in 1-2 weeks. I did not get 221(g) slip or told that I'm in Administrative Process.
When I check at the CEAC website the day after the interview it shows "Refused" with this message:
A U.S. consular officer has adjudicated and refused your visa application. Please follow any instructions provided by the consular officer. If you were informed by the consular officer that your case was refused for administrative processing, your case will remain refused while undergoing such processing. You will receive another adjudication once such processing is complete. Please be advised that the processing time varies and that you will be contacted if additional information is needed. For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV or the website for the Embassy or Consulate at which you made your visa application.
Is this normal? Does the website shows refused for everybody after the interview?
Thanks a lot

Thank you for your response. I have a scholarship that starts next month, I hope they will respond quickly. I will search about the thread. Thanks again.
