H1B Dropbox CEAC status went to Refused

Does this mean visa is rejected or it’s in admin processing? If it’s in RFE/Admin processing what’s the typical wait time for this at Chennai Consulate? Is there anyway to contact them and expedite the process incase it’s RFE? Need to travel soon.

How much time it took for you to get status update? When was your dropbox appointment and when did you get your result?

My spouse's visa status also changed to Refused 2 days back. There's no email from embassy about the reason yet. She was going from H4 to H1B. Did you get an email yet about the reason?

Which consulate was this?

@random4789 did you get your passport with h1b visa. I am in the sane boat. Drop box appointment was on 01/10, status changed to refused on 01/29.

Don’t worry. They may call you for an interview and then approve it. Happened with many people.
