Very sad day!!

Im sorry to hear that. Admisinstrative processing(AP) is not a re adjudication of your files. It is usually additional background/name checks. There is no timeframe for it unfortunately. Women in AP is pretty rare actually. Hopefully it is swift.

According to USCIS, the embassy was the one that kicked it back without my wife going with the interview. She waited for almost 1 hour and half and she had to get up and asked if they had her for interview and they said yes, but the case was sent back to USCIS. USCIS dont have information stating why it was kicked it back, USCIS told me to talk to the embassy to asked them what was the problem. Question: What you mean with "re adjudication".

Thanks for your response...

Stop calling USCIS, they have no detailed knowledge of the status at this time...so whatever they tell you will be conjecture. Your wife's case is in Administrative Processing (AP) which as Y's h explained to you is a re-evaluation of your file...additional background checks, etc. While it is rare for women, it still occurs. Your file will not be sent to USCIS from Montevideo. It will be sent to NVC where additional checks will be performed. There is no timeline for this...it can take a week, to several months....after which the consulate will contact your wife and either re-interview her, issue the visa, or refuse to issue the visa.

The Vice Consul of Montevideo embassy contacted me after I sent an email to Montevideo. He explained to me that 20 April 2009 the USCIS requested our case without giving and explanation. This is what he sent me:

Hi Sergeant Gonzalez,

We received a request from USCIS on April 20 to return your wife's case

to them which we did. They gave no explanation at the time. I have

sent them an email asking if they can provide an explanation as to why

they asked us to return the case and will let you know as soon as I

learn anything.

We will do our best to find out what happened and what can be done to

move the case forward.

Regards,

So, i dont know but will call NVC to see if they actually have the case..thanks for your support

I'm not sure I'm following... so your wife went to her scheduled interview, but no interview took place? And they sent her file back to the U.S. without an interview? Is that correct?

I've never heard of that before (which isn't saying much, as I haven't heard of a lot of things...) I have no advice, but in any case, I'm sorry you're going through this! It must be awful. I wish you the best of luck in sorting things out.

Yes, no interview was held. The case was sent to USCIS according to the Vice Consul in Montevideo. Thanks for your concern

Thats correct, just what you mentioned. Even the officer whom my wife went to ask what was going on, called the vice consul to see the case. They explained to wife that it was a rare case and even let her go inside and see the computer. They told her that they would do what they can to find out what happened. The vice consul emailed me and told me that he personally had sent an email for explanation since an explanation was not given the time the USCIS requested the case.

Thanks for your reponse

So sorry you have to go through this!! I hope everything moves quickly for the both of you. I don't know if you said if you were there with her or not, but I hope you're able to get some time away to do so. She'll really need your support now....thank God for internet and web cams in the mean time!

Johnny,

Is there anything that you can think of that may be "off" with your marriage cert's there or something to that effect? Im TOTALLY speculating, but perhaps something slipped through USCIS and NVC that caught the consulate's eye.

Sometimes docs make it through USCIS and NVC but when they reach the consulate(since they are more familiar with local docs), they see there is a problem. I have seen that happen, but they still have preformed the interview and explained the problem to the applicant.

Good luck an keep us posted

You know, now that you mentioned that..with the english translation of the marriage certificate there was a problem that i knew and was approved anyways..the date in the translation says "12 September 2002 and should be 12 Septembere 2008..I think that was the problem. I caught that a week after the I-130 was approved. I contacted the translation agency and they fixed it and i have it here with me. I sent a right one to NVC..thanks you..you just told me what is going on...

My wife had her interview today Tuesday 5 and her interview did not go through because the packet was sent back to the U.S. for administrative issues or something like that. I called the NVC and the NVC said that it got nothing to do with them and then I called USCIS and they said that they will review my documents once again and I should wait for response. What's going on?? they approved the case in the first place, sent it to NVC, NVC completed and we are here in this situation...BTW, its CR1 case.

If they approve it once again, means that we are going to have to go through the same process with the NVC once again??

Need help...

Johnny

Sorry to hear about your setback. But I am in the same boat as you. My case was sent back to USCIS and got no resposne from them for nearly two years. So I hired a lawyer, and they told me to refile the petition and start over again. But now I recieved a notice from USCIS saying that they are reopening the case. They originally sent it 10 days before I actually sent the 2nd packet, but I didn't ge it till today because they sent it to my old address.

I was told just like you to wait, but I called and called and sent letter after letter, and USCIS did nothing but ignore me. So I got a lawyer. I really don't know what the old case will do, I already have a NOA1 for the new case. MY advise is to seek a lawyer. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT 2 YEARS LIKE I DID WAITING FOR THEM, IT IS A WASTE OF TIME.

Sorry to hear that, i think that i find out what is the issue. The translation of marriage certificate has the wrong date. I find out the a week after it was approved. I caught it while i was adding my wife in the Army's family member database, actually, the lady that was working on it saw it. I sent the right one to the NVC but i never contacted USICS about it since i already had been approved. Big mistake

Thanks for your support!
