I attended a B-1 visa interview on the 4th of June, 2013 for a conference happening on the 12th to 13th of June, 2O13. After the interview, I was issued with a 221(g) with the word ‘‘OTHER’’ checked and then the word ‘‘ADMIN PROCESS’’ written in the space provided. My passport, sponsorship letter, invitation letter and my personal bank statement were retained and I was told I would be called. My status is ‘‘REFUSED’’. However, on the 12th of June, 2013 there was a case update but status remained the same.
Question: Will the visa be issued considering that the conference I was supposed to attend is now over.
The title, ‘‘response to your enquiry saurabh about my B-1’’ relates to your enquiries above. However let me inform you here briefly that I have not yet received back my passport neither have i had any intimation about its dispatch and yes the date was changed from the 4th to 12th june 2013. You should know that from the 4th when i took this interview,every time i check CEAC my status is refused and right under, it say; your application was refused. please see the letter or other instruction you received at the interview. The letter i received was a 221g not 214b. Again, the update on the 12th only happened after a guy from the embassy turned up at my place of work to check with my boss the authenticity of the letter of sponsorship i had presented during the interview. so, if my case was refused why would they bother have someone come to my place of work.
Please answer me this; Now that the date of my conference has passed. will i be issued the visa i asked for once the admin process is complete and turns out favourable. have u come across such experiences.
