No, a CR/IR will not expire. It is K1's that expire. You should get your NOID letter in a few months, 2-4 or so.

I checked our case status online and it says administrative processing updated on June 25th. Is that what happens when a spousal visa is denied? Or is there something else going on?

If you get a second chance at the embassy BEFORE your case is returned then you can submit the DNA and hopefully will be approved. If she wanted a DNA test then she should have asked you for one and

What was on the paper they gave her before she left the embassy? And I don't know how often they update cases online, you can email the Emabssy and ask them if it was denied if the paper doesn't tell you what action they're doing and to contact your congressman or senator for help immediately!

It certainly can say that.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Online status updates are unreliable. For some it says AP for others it says petition returned. You can't go by that.

Senatorial inquiry is the best way to find out case location.

If they decided to review the case internally at the embassy then you would be in AP but the fact that it says AP online

doesn't mean they did not return the petition.

She said the case will be sent back to uscis. The status just changed today.

What was on the paper they gave her before she left the embassy? And I don't know how often they update cases online, you can email the Emabssy and ask them if it was denied if the paper doesn't tell you what action they're doing and to contact your congressman or senator for help immediately!

I did that. And they are on top of it. I sent him all the evidence. Just wondering if they could have put the case on AP rather than sending it back.

I have seen other cases from the Consulate that say the same thing and were denied.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Thanks a lot again for the info. I went to my senator office the same hour it was denied and took soooo many evidence our children passport photos, etc... they reviewed it. And said they would send an email to Ghana. I haven't heard anything back from his office though. I'll call tomorrow. I'm hoping they decided to review it internally.
