How to Fix a 221(g) Administrative Processing Refusal<\/b><\/p>\n
When adjudicating an immigrant or non immigrant visa application, a consular officer may determine that additional information from sources other than the applicant may help establish an applicant\u2019s eligibility for a visa.\u00a0 In such cases, refused visa applications warrant further administrative processing. \u00a0 Upon completion of the case-specific administrative processing, the consular officer might conclude that an applicant is now qualified for the visa for which he or she applied. Alternatively, the officer may conclude that the applicant remains ineligible for a visa. \u00a0When administrative processing is required, the consular officer will inform the applicant at the end of the interview. The duration of the administrative processing will vary based on the individual circumstances of each case.<\/p>\n
This means that there are essentially two types of 221(g) refusals.\u00a0 The first type is basically a request for more evidence.\u00a0 The applicant did not prove their case with the documents submitted and they are provided with another opportunity to supply the required documents before a final decision is made.\u00a0 In this situation, the applicant has one year to provide the requested documents and since this is the applicant’s final opportunity to present their case, this must be undertaken with great care.\u00a0 The second type of 221(g) refusal relates to administrative processing.\u00a0 In this situation, the Embassy needs additional information but they need it from a third party – not from the applicant.\u00a0 Usually, administrative processing can be resolved in a matter of weeks but depending on individual circumstances, it can cause multiyear delays.\u00a0 Fortunately, if an applicant\u2019s situation presents a unique hardship, we can work with the Embassy to close the administrative processing delay and expedite a decision on the visa application.<\/p>\n
