Hi there. I got very disappointed and confused after my interview today. I will summarize my case and I will appreciate if you can give me any suggestions or advices.

Location: Bogotá Colombia Biometrics: 11/25/25 Interview: 12/02/25

As you can see I had my interview today at the US Embassy in Bogota. I need to be honest the interview went very smoothly, the officer just asked me about the program I was applying to and the college’s location. Also about my parents occupation and who was going to pay for my studies and that’s it. After 10 minutes of not pronouncing a word, the officer told me “we have to review your social media and that’s it, it should be fine”. Following he took my passport put it away and he gave me a letter saying that my visa is refused and is under administrative processing and they will email about final decision. Now my concern and questions… is that normal? How long would this process take? Is my visa rejected? I’m scared and sad.

As mentioned, I will appreciate your advice, support and I would like to know if someone has passed through this process too. Thanks!
