flash Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 After almost 3 months in Administrative Processing for CCP (wife was preliminary approved in November 2016), we received an email yesterday with the following: Dear Applicants,Under the section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Consulate General is unable to issue you an immigrant visa at this time. If you have already submitted your passport to the Consulate General, we will keep your passport with your file pending the issuance of your visa. Further consideration will be given to your visa application after you meet the following requirement(s):REQUESTED DOCUMENT(S): • For All Applicants: Please submit a passport (with at least 8 months validity) and two new visa photos taken within the past 6 months. Starting November 1, 2016, colored or eye altering contact lenses or eyeglasses is no longer allowed in visa photos. For further details on photo requirements please visit: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/photos.html THEN, it states when our police check, medical report and DS-260 will expire.THEN, at the bottom, it statesWARNING:IF YOU FAIL TO TAKE THE ACTION REQUESTED WITHIN ONE YEAR FOLLOWING VISA DENIAL UNDER SECTION 221(g) OF THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT, SECTION 203(g) OF THE ACT REQUIRES THAT YOUR APPLICATION BE TERMINATED. IN ADDITION, APPLICANTS WHO WAIT MORE THAN A YEAR TO PURSUE THEIR CASE AFTER A 221(G) REFUSAL MUST REPAY THE IV APPLICATION FEE BEFORE PROCESSING OF THE APPLICATION MAY RESUME. Im confused. Is this a denial or the part where they will put in the visa? If so, why do they make the wording sound like a denial?Any help is much appreciated! Thanks! -Flash Link to comment
dnoblett Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Boiler plate, visa was initially denied pending waiver of CCP.Follow what they request, send in the passport so they can put visa stamp in it.Also medical and/or police report may need to be redone if you did them an excessive time before the interview, or if AP took longer than normal.

flash Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 That clears things up for me. Luckily, those other documents will all still be valid when we enter the U.S. in a few months. Thanks so much for your help and for looking out! -Flash Link to comment
