It is sent back where it will be allowed to lapse,

What is your plan going forward?

The usual options are that you move or you marry and try that route.

Hey Boiler, you say that I move or marry? I suggested that to my lawyer but he said I need to wait to see the reason for refusal because then again if I hurriedly rush to marry its gonna raise suspicions. I mean my question is how long do you think they gonna respond to me with my status being in the AP?

Plus you did mention move, what do you mean by move? Thx a bunch for ur replies.

Boiler means to move to your fiance's country, no reason you have to stay here versus there. It won't seem hurriedly as you already have plans to marry and that way didn't work so you decided to marry and file for CR-1. That just shows them you were serious in the first place and are willing to try other avenues. I can't answer the answer questions.

As I understand it you will not hear anything further.

First you have to establish if the petition has really been returned or if the CO decided to place him in AP instead.

You can do this by contacting your senator and have him do an inquiry and obtain the diplomatic pouch number of the returned case

or verify if the case is still there in internal review. If in AP you wait until it is completed and no one can tell you how long it will take.

If they send it back to USCIS there will be no review and it will expire. You will then receive a letter after 6 months that you can re file.

You have to be proactive to try and locate where your case is.

In the letter it's states do not contact the embassy or USCIS until a response have been sent to you. They did state they were gonna send it back to the USCIS . So if I find out it's still at the embassy then what next? Is the way I can avoid them sending application back to USCIS since it's already been stated in the letter that they are gonna send it back to uscis

If the case was sent back to USCIS, it is for the most part, expired, gone. It was suggested, that to find out for sure, if sent back to USCIS.,.,.,or placed in AP.

Keep checking the CEAC web site the next few days, and see what info. you can see there. Maybe he got lucky, and was placed back in AP. But, I have alos heard of people being in AP for 2 years.

Watch the CEAC web site close, and find out how to contact your Senator, and have them inquire, what became of his petition. It could say, AP, processing.,.,,or something positive.

Lets hope so.
