I would like some assistance regarding our case. My wife was denied entry on october 2021 by the cbp with grounds of working before entry and they gave 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I), we have a pending f2a petition which was filed in April 2020. Last February 18 my wife got the interview at the embassy but after the interview the consulate gave her a 212(a)(9)(A)(i) not knowing what to do next. i did search some cases with this 212 and people says to file i212 and other says i601 which is making us confused. i also asked a attorney and she told me that Currently, USCIS Field offices are taking 32 months to process of I-212 applications. Given this long processing time, we could instead wait for the 5-year bar to expire and then follow up with U.S. Consulate to continue the visa processing.
