can someone explain this to me after 14 months on this devilish AP this is what my statut update says

what is the meaning of this ?

Case Creation Date: 29-Jun-2012 Status Updated Date: 15-Apr-2014

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.

I know what AP is, but some people do have AP at NVC, so it is better to ask to be sure.

My guess is that it is a glitch of some sort. I don't think the online case status is totally reliable. I would call and talk to a Tier2 officer, or email the embassy and ask for current case status.

Petitioner should do a congressional inquiry to get a decent answer. Could be a mistake, could be a returned petition.

This has to be some kind of glitch. If you've been in contact with the embassy, surely they can't close your case due to abandonment. Especially since you're waiting on AP to be finished which is their hold-up, not yours!

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

I seem to remember there being a thread maybe a week or two ago with a similar issue.

Can't remember how it played out, but might be worth looking for it to see what their trouble and resolution, if any, was.

THIS IS THE LETTER SEND BY THE EMBASSY AND SECONDLY THE LETTER SEND BY THE ATTORNEY

Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for your inquiry.

Please be advised that the administrative processing on this case has now been completed. The consular office will review that case and we will contact the applicant once the officer reaches a decision.

Please be informed that the case has not been cancelled. You saw the wrong status because the system updates the case automatically and generates the status. We have fixed the problem to indicate that the case is still opened until we reach a decision.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Sincerely,







Dear Sir/Madam,

I am contacting you on behalf of the following case:

Case #: X
Beneficiary Name: X

After sending you an inquiry explaining that the applicant had her interview at the consulate on February 5th 2013, and her case had been held for administrative processing, you e-mailed us a response on August 19th 2013 stating that the case was still undergoing administrative processing. Furthermore, we were informed that there was no time length as to when the processing would be completed and were waiting to hear back from the consulate.

Upon checking the CEAC website this morning, we found a message saying that the registration and the I-130 approval for the case was to be cancelled because despite having provided her with a notice, she did not contact the consulate. Please note that neither our office, the petitioner, nor the applicant at any time received a notice saying her registration was to be cancelled. .

Moreover, the petitioner and our office has been in contact with you periodically inquiring about the administrative processing on Ms. X s case. Finally, the applicant already had her interview. Registration must be renewed when an applicant's case is pending at the NVC or at a consulate prior to the interview. In this case, the applicant was waiting to hear a response from the consulate. She was told that she would be notified by the consulate when her case had completed administrative processing and was not given a date as to when she would have to check back.

Please inform us as to the correct status of this case. In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to once again request you to please provide us with a decision on the case. It has now been a year and two months since the case has been placed under administrative processing.

I have attached the CEAC website notice, the administrative processing notice received on the day of the appointment, and a copy of our last corresponded with you dated August 19th 2013, for your reference. Please scroll down to view each document.

I am already attorney of record.


Sincerely,

THEY NOW RECHANGE THE STATUTS TO AP AGAIN BUT THEIR LETTEIR MENTION THAT THE AP IS NOW COMPLETED SO WHAT ARE THEY WATING FOR?

ase Creation Date: 29-Jun-2012 Status Updated Date: 21-Apr-2014

Administrative Processing

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached.
