@DropVisa how long did or take for you to receive the email from the consulate after the status changed to refused?

I asked the same question and this was the reply “Honestly I dont know , was too busy with my meetings that day, i saw the email first and then checked the status. I wanna say they are usually pretty close to each other. They update the case first and later send the email.”

Aaah I missed those messages. I'm hoping to hear something today or tomorrow but I think what they need is the reciprocity fee, since there is one for my country. I will have to mail that in, which will prolly delay stuff again smh

Ohh. They have that for your visa category too??

 

[Cedya]

Yes unfortunately they do

@Cedya refused can be a variety of reasons, request for interview/ request for fingerprints / request for a new photograph/ request for additional documents. It looks like in a few cases it automatically goes to administrative processing but it is more likely it is a request for an action from you. I believe you may get an email today or tomorrow with follow up if any action is needed from you. No need to panic, I am seeing many people being called for interview, the DOS is doing the opposite to address the backlog

This thread is so bleak. It's absolutely infuriating how lax they've become in handling these applications.

It is absolutely insane.. in india people can reach out to customer care to get to know status of H1b Dropbox application atleast. Here they won’t even say that they reaceived it until they start working of application which can be anywhere from 1week after sending to 4-6weeks.
