Case Processing
221(g) — No Documents Requested, CEAC Showing “Refused” — Riyadh Embassy
CR-1 Visa — Interview completed at Riyadh Embassy.
The officer said everything is good and they don’t need anything more from me. But on CEAC, the status shows:
Refused — Administrative Processing
I was told there was a system delay.
No 221(g) document request checklist, no missing papers.
Has anyone from Riyadh Embassy experienced the same?
How long did it take for your status to move from Refused → Issued and for passport return?
Please share your timelines.
Thanks! #cr1 #spouse #Riyadh #ir1 #interview
AP time
My application was received on January 21st for the VAWA, and on May 9th my work permit was approved. However, after 284 days, I'm still waiting for a response regarding my travel permit “ADVANCED PAROLE”. Has anyone else experienced such a long wait between the two? I see most applications being approved either simultaneously or within a few days of each other. Should I be worried?

CR-1 Visa – Administrative Processing / “System Down” – Riyadh Embassy
Hi everyone,
I recently had my CR-1 visa interview at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh. The interview went well, the officer said my documents were complete and they didn’t need anything additional from my side. However, after the interview, my CEAC status shows "REFUSED"
The officer mentioned that the system was down
I wanted to check here if anyone has had a similar experience with CR-1 visa administrative processing at Riyadh Embassy, especially where:
The officer said your documents were fine,
No extra documents were requested,
There was a “system down” or processing delay.
How long did it take for your case to move forward? When did you receive your passport? Any advice or updates would be really helpful!
Thanks in advance. #cr1 #interview #ir1 #embassy #riyadh

hello
I had my asylum interview on November 6th. The officer told me they would send me the decision by email. I know the decision can take time, but my case status hasn't changed since the interview. Has anyone else experienced this?
