What happens when a case is returned to NVC and not USCIS?

Hi guys,

Just a quick question what happens when the US Embassy sends your case file back to the NVC and not the USCIS?

Thanks.

NVC will then send it back to USCIS.

NVC acts as a liaison between USCIS and the consulates.

What then does the USCIS do with it? DO they notify the Petitioner of what has happened?

Thanks.

Nope, they leave that up to USCIS to do.

USCIS sends petitioner a letter (NOIR)

Typically at visa interview, the beneficiary gets a sheet explaining what happened.

Someone asked NVC/DOS about a denial and this is a thread about it posted yesterday.

I really appreciate your quick responses. Just one more. Will the Petitioner get back the original copies of documents that are attached to the file? I notice nothing was given back.

Thanks.

If nothing returned then when USCIS eventually gets file back, a request for the documents can be made, by filing G-884

Visa denied was father files for unmarried adult daughter over 21 years, Have no idea what that is called.

Thanks again.

Thanks so much for your responses. Yes I am bothering you again. So when the USCIS gets around to notifying the Petitioner, then he will know what to do, if at all anything can be done to correct the matter for the process to continue or end? Really sorry for bombarding you with so many questions. Just need to be clear.

Yes, they will give petitioner an oportunity to provide additional evidence.

At this point having a lawyer involved is best.

Thank you so very much. Much appreciated. Is this a long process though? Is is a wait and see game?

Can the Petitioner call USCIS and find out if the file was received from the NVC and what the current status/situation is regarding it?

Thanks.

May get some info if use original file number on USCIS.gov

But the 800 number is called the miss-information line, probably wont tell you anything.

Can the Petitioner then go ahead and re-file based for the daughter, unmarried and over 21 or does he have to wait until contacted by USCIS via the NOIR/NOID?

Thanks.
