My husband was called into the embassy for fingerprint and oath today. He was called to the window, asked to do the oath and gave his fingerprints. The woman told him "Congratulations, you are approved. You will have your visa is 7-10 days. After 3 years of waiting, our journey is coming to an end and our new life together will begin. There have been many ups and downs through this whole process and I thank everyone here on this forum for all of your support.

I don't know why my case was sent back. USCIS kept saying they didn't request it back and the embassy said they did not send it back. I worked very closely with my congressman to keep a watch on the progress. When it got back to the states I was told to take in paperwork to the local USCIS office (they returned the entire contents of his file to him at his original interview). I took it in on a Friday, the next day the officer showed up unannounced at 9:30 am and interviewed me. He walked around my house, took pictures of my bedroom and closet. He said, they were looking for evidence of another man living with me. It was very unsettling.
