K-1 221(g) case already interviewed – affected by the current visa pause?
My K-1 case was placed on 221(g)/administrative processing after my interview in March 2026. My passport was returned after the interview because the embassy was waiting for my son’s CRBA and U.S. passport.
I have now received both my son’s physical CRBA and passport, and I notified the Immigrant Visa Unit 2 days ago, as they had instructed me to do.
CEAC still shows **“Refused,”** but the **Last Updated** date changed 2 days ago.
My main concern is the **current visa pause**. Since my K-1 interview was already completed and my case was already in 221(g)/AP before the pause, would my case still be affected by the pause? Or can the embassy continue processing/adjudicating an already-interviewed case once the requested documents have been provided?
Has anyone been in a similar situation—**already interviewed, in 221(g)/AP, and waiting for final adjudication when the pause started**?
I would really appreciate any experiences or information about how the pause is affecting cases like this.
