Expiring soon

[sammajee 1]

My father had an interview in Feb 2022 in Islamabad along with my mother according to the visa officer his visa was approved but my mother was given a slip and long form of family history info and was put under AP. we submitted the form in a week time since then both parents status was as reject. At the time of interview Visa Officer asked my father if he would like he can issue his immigration visa but my father says he will wait for his wife visa and if both visa could be issued together so visa officer said that's fine ever since both of their status showed reject, to day I notice my father status say expiring soon and mother status still says reject. what to think of it

"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.

Exactly what it says.  Your father's visa case will be canceled.  Did you not contact the embassy at all within the past year to keep your father's case active?

He should get the visa issued. Enter the US, apply for a Reentry permit, get his SSN in hand, stay until he either does biometrics for the permit or sees that on file biometrics are being reused.. then he can return to his wife. He will have 2 years from the date of issue of the reentry permit where he can remain out of the US without his LPR status being presumed abandoned.  Otherwise he will be back at square one and require a new application for an IV
