What exactly can you do if you receive an email like this:

The petition with receipt number WAC.......... was approved and was forwarded abroad to a United States Embassy/Consulate with a validity period of four (4) months.  Subsequently, the petition has been returned to the USCIS with a finding that the beneficiary was not issued the requested K-1 visa.  Since the period of validity has now expired the petition will not be revalidated.  Therefore, all USCIS action on this petition is concluded since the petition validity period has expired.  For I-129F Consular return cases where the petition validity period has already expired, the USCIS may not be issuing any further notification about the case to the Petitioner.  In this instance, the petitioner may choose to file a new Form I-129F, Petition for an Alien Fiancé (e), with fee.

The petition will not be reviewed even though your update stated it would.   You have to start over. Try to find out the reason why the visa was refused. Could be just the general ' not bona

Yup, they believe the petition was invalid...aka not a bona fide relationship (or something like not being free to marry). As such, they sent it back to USCIS with the recommendation to revoke. USCIS'

Looks like that you have to file a new I-129F.

 

But why didn't they process the visa at the fiancés US embassy in his home country?

I remember that I got a letter in the mail saying that the embassy is working on my case.

This is crazy.  How is it our fault that they did not process it in time?  How are they just going to say: Oh we kept your file too long so just forget about all of the money you just paid and give us more".

Sounds like :

 

1.  USCIS sent petition to Embassy

2.  Embassy return the petition to USCIS without denying or approving

3.  USCIS allowed the petition to expire.

 

The embassy didn't like something....It is closed.

Was there an interview?  If so, what was said?

That is what happens when the embassy doesn't approve the I-129.  It is sent back to USCIS to die.  There is no appeal for Fiance visas.

Their decision was to let it expire.  It is standard practice from what I have seen.

Once you resolve whatever the issue for the refusal was, you can refile for a new K-1 or (preferably) marry and then file for a CR-1.
