Case got sent back to USCIS after the approval

[Teerak 0]

We got NOA2 on July 11th but then on the 25th we got this email:

Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity

On July 25, 2011, a USCIS office received this case from the State Department with a request that we review it. We will notify you when we complete our review, or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

We called NVC and they said they got our approved case then they send it back for review and we have to contact USCIS for more info. Then when we contact USCIS they didn't give us any reason why our case got sent back and told us to wait for 120 days. It took us 6 months to get NOA2 now they told us to wait for another 120 days. Anyone have any suggestion?

It sounds like you could be in AP at NVC. I would call NVC and see if that is the case. If you are in AP at NVC see this thread. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/165644-stuck-nvc-for-ap/. Not sure if they created a 2nd thread or not.

Ouch! Try to call back NVC and/or USCIS. Ask for a supervisor. Schedule an Infopass at your USCIS local office.

Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. We called NVC but they told us that we need to call USCIS then when we called USCIS they said they can't tell us anything except that we have to wait for 120 days.

Thank you for your reply. You mean that we can schedule an Infopass to meet with USCIS local officer? Please tell us how?

You can schedule an infopass through the USCIS website: https://infopass.uscis.gov/info_lang.php?sel_lang=en

In the letter that I got from USCIS it says, if I dont hear anything from NVC in 30 days, I should either call them or write them an email. I got the letter from USCIS on July 20th. Also, I contacted my lawyer that's helping me with my case, and she said it usually takes the NVC office two weeks to enter your case in their system before you hear from them. Just like you, I'm patiently waiting, at least trying to :)

Thank you everybody for your reply.

As we mentioned before we called USCIS and they didn't tell us any reason and just told us to wait for 120 days, so we contacted the congressman and they got answer for us!! They said we missed some information and USCIS will send us notice on what we need to do. Then we just got this email today.

On August 1, 2011, we mailed a notice requesting initial evidence in this case. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the evidence requested. Meanwhile, processing of this case is on hold until we either receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once you submit the evidence requested and a decision is made, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

So we just have to wait for the notice and follow the instruction. Thank you everybody again and we hope that everybody who still waiting will get their problem solve soon.
