Hi all!

I hope someone can help me .

My husband's visa was denied and sent back for revocation. After long wait we got our case reaffirmed on September ,22 this year and it was sent to DOS to further processing. DOS received it and then .....it dissapeared! System shows that uscis requested our case back and it was sent back to USCIS on October 13. Well, USCIS never got case back and never asked it back. It was so confusing, with a help of attorney and representatives of my state, the USCIS decided to recreate our case. After they did it , they sent it to NVC and , on December,1, NVC mailed our case by expedited mail to embassy in Brazil. They told us it should be there in a few days. .There are no words to describe how happy we were. After 2 long years of this process, having a 3-d child without presence of my husband, and then eventually loosing our home and now I with 3 kids moved to Brazil to stay with my husband for almost 1 year already..... It was so unreal, finally light at the end of tunnel... Of course, all this time we were checking status on CEAC website, which wasnt updated for a while and showed "Returned to NVC". but today it was updated with status "Refused". How is it possible? What could it mean??? Is there possibility that embassy did not want to accept the case and refused it even without an interview?

We are already emailed an embassy, it takes 3 business days for response. My heart sank((( I cannot believe it still happen to us

Please, share any information you have. Or may be someone had similar situation

Thanks!
