Rejected, declined or stuck? Decode it
Updated
A denial showing only 3 of 5 steps complete usually means the payment failed, not that the application was reviewed and refused. The reason for a real rejection arrives by email, not in the portal. A retry is a new solicitud, charged again (about $60 per solicitud plus a processing fee of about $3), so find the cause first.
A denial in the CancillerÃa portal is often not what it looks like: a failed payment can show as "denied", and the real reason for a refusal arrives by email. Pick what you see and get the likely cause, what to do now and how not to pay the fee more often than you have to.

How this works
- Each answer is a rule from our rules base, shown with its source and the date it was last verified. These are the same rules and the same decision logic the Visa Desk case page uses.
- Pasted text is matched against the rules by keywords. When AI explanations are switched on, the explanation may use only those rules, must cite them, and hands you to an expert when the rules do not cover the reason.
- Nothing here guarantees approval. When the rules do not settle it, the honest answer is to have an expert read the full email.
- Before you pay again, check your names with the passport name check and read the payment guide.
