EB2 Consular Processing. Administrative processing since 10/10/2024
I had my visa interview on 10/10/2024 and I was denied visa under INA 212(a)(6)(C)(i). The reason was unlawful work while on F1 visa. However I contacted LegalNet and had overturned that decision. LegalNet advised that the US Consulate will contact me as to how to proceed with the case. Right now visa status is in administrative processing, it has been 4 month since then. I was banned to enter the US for lifetime then got it lifted through LegalNet since that ban was actually unjustified. But my case is still in administrative
processing.
I assume my situation is extremely rare if any but if anyone ever had any similar experience please share.

@Ali J, how did they know that you worked unlawfully while on F1 visa? Did you state that in your application?

@Ali J did you work with your social security number while on f1 as a student unlawfully or how did you work unlawfully?

212 6c is for fraud or misrepresentation. Why did they claim that? did you lie about something during the interview or ds 260?

also note, just because they removed the fraud charge, it doesn’t mean embassy will issue the visa, if you have more than 6 months of unauthorized work.
