🔹

22 CFR § 41.122(h)(3)

– Visa Refusals and Seals

 

 

• 22 CFR 41.122 is titled “Refusal of nonimmigrant visas.”
• Subsection (h) refers to how visa refusals are recorded or annotated, including placing stamps or notations in passports.
• Paragraph (3) specifically allows a U.S. consular officer to place a “Refused” stamp or annotation in the applicant’s passport along with a consular seal when a visa is denied.

 

 

 

 

 

🔍 What does it mean practically?

 

 

If you see:

 

“Pursuant to 22 CFR 41.122(h)(3) seal”

 

…it typically means:

 

• A visa application was refused (often under section 214(b) or 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act).
• The refusal is marked or stamped in the passport.
• The mark is sealed with the consulate’s seal, in accordance with the law.

 

 

This is not a permanent bar, but it documents the refusal officially.
