USCIS requested the case back from the embassy

[janetusman 33]

I just called NVC this morning to find out what the status update on my case was and NVC said that USCIS has REQUESTED the case back. Has anyone experienced this? I asked them if it was sent back for revocation and they said no, it was USCIS that requested the case back.

If anyone can help figure this out it would be very appreciated

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not familiar with this "request the case back" term.

Yes please let us know what does that mean ?

[janetusman 33]

I have no clue either, that is what I was told by NVC. Just got off the call from USCIS they say they dont "Request" cases back. So no clue what is going on.

Call USCIS and ask to talk to Tier 2 officer. s/he might have an answer.

Did your status change on CEac?

[janetusman 33]

Yes, I had a status change so I called this morning to see why it changed. I spoke to 3 people at NVC including a supervisor, I called USCIS twice and I got to speak to an immigration officer. I have also spoken to both my attorney and my congressman. It appears my case is being sent back for revocation.

Did anything go wrong at the interview? Is applicant female or male? how long have you been married?

[janetusman 33]

Nothing that we know about, answered all the questions. Applicant is male and have been married for over 2 years now.

Any red flags in your case that you are aware of?

[janetusman 33]

There is an age difference. I am a USC he is a Pakistani national. We gave them all the information they asked for to prove we had a relationship. They actually told us, we had too much documentation of our relationship.

[imse 82 8]

I think you just need to wait for the detailed letter in the mail or call USCIS again and ask for more details.

[janetusman 33]

Do you know how long it will take to get the letter?

Not sure! I would recommend contacting Carolyn as she has been through this process!

What did you provide for documentation.. Was your status updated during the last year?

[janetusman 33]

I tried, but it looks like Carolyn's inbox is full. I am hoping she sees this post and answers here. We gave them everything they asked for: chat logs, plane tickets, photos, visa stamps, family photos, and CDs from the wedding. I have been to Pakistan 3 times in total and I am planning on going in April. We do not have a co sponsor as my income is well above the minimum requirement.

The CO only kept our original nikkah nama and marriage certificate. He said he didn't need any additional evidence. My case status still says AP...if it's being sent back for revocation... Shouldn't it say denied?
