You are probably stuck in security checks . They need to be sure you are not part of any bad group of people. It will take time and all you can do is wait. If they were going to send it back to USCI

This is not true. The decision at the interview is preliminary and even if they have told you to "expect a visa within x amount of days" they can decide to refuse you after the interview. Seen more th

At this point the USC should contact her/his senator and inquire through him where you case is located at. If still at the embassy have him request a second interview, long shot and rarely granted.

You can apply for a CR-1 as soon as you are married, but unless you find out what exactly the problem was last time, and remove that issue, you may well have the same problem again.

No social media ,im not a celebrity

how long after we can aplpy for spouse visa?

Social media is not only for celebrities. If you use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or whatever you need to think twice about you post because it can effect your visa.

Simple steps for you.Marry soon and file i130.you can do it immediately

They can marry but unless they figure out why they were refused there's a pretty big chance they will waste time and money filing for a CR-1 if they don't figure out why they were refused because it will effect the CR-1.

OP you need to contact the embassy and figure out why you were denied, we can only speculate especially since you haven't given us any details. Is there a big age gap between you and your fiance? Polar opposites in religion? How long have you known each other and how much time have you spent together? How much evidence of the two of you having a real relationship did you provide?

Considering the idiots who shot people in California used the K1 to get into the country it might also be that they rather play safe and refuse more people than take the chance that something similar will happen again. Especially since all eyes are on them and it's getting closer to a hectic time before the elections next November.

OP should not be advised to marry immediately until :

It has been confirmed through the senator that the petition has been indeed returned to USCIS with diplomatic pouch number request.

The senator has exhausted a request for a second interview with additional evidence ( and request for a 221g sheet marked with reason for refusal).

....then

they can marry and go the CR1 route.

No. Not so fast.

Dear xxxx,

Our record indicates that your visa application in the subject fiance visa case is still pending under administrative processing. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to predict how long this processing may take. The wait could possibly be quite lengthy. However, please rest assured that as soon as this processing is finished, we will contact the applicant using the contact information he/she has provided on his/her application. Thank you for your kind understanding.

Sincerely,
Immigrant Visa Unit

Considering you say they have your passport I would say you are in administrative processing. They would have given you your passport back if you were refused. So it sounds like you might get approved.
