My visa was issued today, thank God ! I really appreciate your help and feedback. Thank you so much

Hi everyone, I had my IR1 interview recently, and the visa officer mentioned she needed to verify some information. She gave me a 221g paper, and when I checked my case status afterward, it said "Refused." However, on last Thursday, after two weeks, the status changed to "Administrative Processing." Is this a good sign? Does it mean they are close to completing the process, or should I expect more waiting? Any insights would be appreciated! Thanks!

My case is under administrative processing, and I had my interview. Can I transfer my case to another consulate since I’ll be staying in another country for 6 months?

Hi everyone, I had my IR1 visa interview in February, and at the end of my interview, the officer told me that she believes my marriage is bona fide, but she needs to verify some information, so she put me under administrative review and issued me a 221g. The reason for this is that I have a 601a waiver due to overstaying my visa. While reading through the waiver instructions, I saw that one of the reasons an approved I-601A can be revoked is if the DOS consulate officer determines that I am ineligible for the immigrant visa. My questions are: Can the consulate officer determine that I am ineligible for the visa without providing any specific reasons? Can my immigrant visa petition become invalid or withdrawn if they put me in administrative processing for a long time, or more than a year?

I sent you a private message.

Any updates on your situation?

Hi everyone, my case was updated today, but it still says 'refused.' What does that mean?

What do you think they are doing exactly in this AP? Are they conducting background checks?

Thank you so much for the explanation; it makes a lot of sense now. I hope my AP won’t take too long. Is there anything I should do if it takes longer, like months?

Thank you so much

Thank you, sir, for your feedback. I believe the same thing, especially after she kept my passport (a good sign).

Thank you, Dashinka. The interviewer asked me if I had my 601A waiver approval letter. Thank God I had it with me. You would think they would have it in their system.

Hi everyone, Long story short: I overstayed my K1 visa and later married a different woman than the one on my K1. l've been married to my current wife for 7.5 years. We've bought a house together, and have been happily married. I applied for the 601A waiver and it got approved. Then, they scheduled me for an interview in my home country. I had the interview, and the interviewer asked for my 601A approval letter. She also asked why I needed to come back to my country to change my status and why I couldn't do it in the US. She spoke with two other officers for at least 15 minutes about my case. Eventually, she told me that she believes my marriage is real and has no doubts about it. However, she needs more time to review my situation. She kept my passport and told me my case is under "administrative review." 221g I'm unsure how long this process will take or what to expect next. Has anyone been through something similar or can offer any advice or insight on what happens after "administrative review"? Thanks in advance for any feedback!
