CEAC status

[Jamaicanshorty 4]

So, I checked the visa status this morning for my case and this is what is says,

Section 203(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires that your registration be canceled and any petition approved on your behalf canceled, if you do not apply for your immigrant visa within one year of being advised to do so.

You were advised of this requirement over 1 year ago, but we have not received a response from you since then. As a result, your application for a visa has been canceled and any petition approved on your behalf has also been canceled.

Your application may be reinstated and any petition revalidated if, within one year, you can establish that your failure to pursue your immigrant visa application was due to circumstances beyond your control. Please provide a written statement to the Embassy or Consulate outlining the circumstances beyond your control and noting that you still wish to pursue this visa petition.

Called DOS to get an update since this is a reaffirmed CR-1 petition and the rep informed me that my file has not reached the embassy in Jamaica as of yet. However, I had already emailed them and was informed that they received my file on 7/31 and that it is in AP and once that is completed the beneficiary would be contacted. Not sure what to think about the status update online...has anyone had this happen before? Why did the rep lie...guess he did not want to inform me of the status update so he lied instead. Boy o Boy....what a hassle
