, the Consular Processing period of the K-1 visa process can begin. Consular Officers situated at American Posts overseas are responsible for adjudicating visa applications. When a K1 visa application is submitted to a US Embassy or Consulate a visa interview is usually conducted shortly thereafter. In many cases, a visa is issued if the Consular Officer approves the application, but if further documentation is requested, then the Consular Officer may issue a 221(g) denial which is essentially a denial pending further evidence. If a Consular Officer finds that an applicant is legally inadmissible to the United States, then the visa application will be denied. A remedy may be available, depending upon the grounds of inadmissibility, in the form of an I-601 waiver or an I-212 waiver which must receive USCIS approval before a visa will ultimately be issued.
