is every INA code 212(a)(5)(A) mean non petition able plz guys help me i am very confuse and how long embassy take time to send back paperz to USCIS.And how long USCIS will take time to contact to petitioner .plz guys help me.

There is no definite time line for returned cases. They are no longer a priority. They sit at the NVC mail room and gather dust

until it is your turn in the stack. Then it gets send to USCIS. Then it takes weeks or months for USCIS to enter it into their data and assign the case to an immigration officer for review.

4-6 months for the whole enchilada...more or less.

Be proactive and call and have a senator track and monitor your case.

I am trully sorry to hear the situation. I am too older than my husband ten years and im not afraid to say it. We have a two year old son and as i mentioned before in other treads my husband and baby have not met. My husband has been in AP for almost seven months now. I contacted my congressman and they had no success in trying to move the case forward. i continue to have the same replies over and over "the case is pending administrative process bla bla bla... I plan to travel to Egypt next year and perhaps start the relocation process since my husband cant take the fact that we are appart specially without the baby.

As for what your situation is concerned i will strongly recommend you sort things out, calm down at first everything turns black infront of you and it feels as if dreams are broken in million peaces, think of the possibility of relocating if he loves you he will take care of you and the kids, at least give it a try i know is hard but ask yourself what you have to loose in usa, a job if things dont work out you can always come back, see if you can get a work leave so you can start by trying to be overseas for a while and perhaps this will be the beginning of a life. I DONT KNOW it just seems that once you are denied things become more difficult and i dont know how patient he can be.

I ask my self i waited three years now with no results and with a pending case that i do not even know when is going to end. I dont want you to fall in the same situation. AGAIN evaluate your life with him and the life of your children and act.. I wish you only the best and the very best. GOOD LUCK HON.

your timeline says your husband received his visa august 15, and you posted a few weeks back that his AP was over. Is this not the case?

Just like you I keep wondering the same thing and asking questions. Probably the unfortunate people that on here that have gone or are going through this are more accurate. No one knows a definite time frame. The answer that I have received more than once is that it takes about 7 months for it to make it back to the USCIS and then they usually have it another 6 months before they start sending out the NOIR, then there is 30 days allowed to reply and after that it can take several months or longer for them to review the case with the new information. I was told to be patient for at least 2 years or to consider the two of us finding a place other than the USA where we can live together. Other than that the only choice is to make that horrible decision of ending the relationship. I hope that I can move someday in the future but with kids I just don't see that possible. I am heart broken each and every day.

Our case was reaffirmed and we thought we would get another interview right away. Instead our case was placed in AP. There is no telling how long we will be in AP. I am trying not to complain or be bitter. I have placed this situation in God's hands. I know the embassy needs to review our new paperwork but they have had our case back for a couple of months.

HeartandSoul I know you are hurting but try to remain strong and pray that your case makes it back to USCIS in record time like mine did. Once you respond to the NOIR they give you a decision within 30 to 60 days. We had our decision in 2 weeks. I pray that you don't have to wait 2 years for your case to be sent back to the embassy.
