I got NOA2 aprroved on April 4th and got letter from American embassy in Tokyo on 24th. It has my case number with it. I just follwed the guide line and sent DS-230 part I. I just got DS-230 back from American embassy in Tokyo and it says:

TO: my name

REF: I-129F petition (my case number...)

We are retuning your DS-230　Part I　since we no longer have your case at this office. The petition I-129F filed on your behalf has been requested to be sent back to the approving USCIS office.

Thank you

Regards,

Immigrant Visa Branch, Tokyo

I checked my case status on USCIS web site. It still says "On April 4, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)."

Do I need Ref??

Does anyone know about my situation? I am very sad now...

Not sure if I'm quite understanding but to me it sounds like you sent your DS-230 to the wrong address and they simply returned it. Where and when did you send that to? Did you send anything off with it?

The USCIS website is just telling you it was approved (meaning...you got you NOA2).

I sent it to American embassy in Tokyo which I got first letter with my case number. The first letter date was on April 23. And I sent DS-230 on 25th and I got my DS-230 back just today which is May 1st. And the second letter date says on April 26. Why they sent me case number and refuse my DS-230 after 3 days later?? Im confused...

Honestly, it could all be a mix up and/or a clerical error.

However, I remember reading that it's possible for the consulate to send back an approved 129F for whatever reason.

I'd wait a bit and then contact CSC to see whether the Tokyo consulate sent your 129F back to them. Then you can figure out if any issues need to be rectified. I know that's not the best scenario, but the whole process takes so long anyway that the impact should not be much.

I would call the US Embassy in Tokyo or CSC right away and confirm what's going on. They will know for sure what's happening. Best of luck!
