I was hoping so, but I got an email from the consulate stating they denied the visa and sent the case back to USCIS for review 😭

The return back to USCIS is concerning. If they do send it back to USCIS, it will die. By policy, USCIS does not review a returned I-129F - they let it expire (long reason why, but it's to avoid an automatic misrepresentation/fraud marker).

Get in contact with the consulate. Contact a senator. Try to catch it before it leaves the consulate.

Update*** I've tried contacting USCIS. First I used their online messaging portal, but then received a message stating that they weren't able to answer my question ( I requested to have the case sent back to the consulate for a second interview). They gave me a number to call which keeps me inside an automated system endlessly pressing numbers in hopes to get connected to a physical person. Only, to come to an option where the automate response, informs me that they received our case on September 25, 2019 and a request to review it by the State Department. It said they would notify us by mail when they complete their review or contact us if they need further information. It also says please wait 180 days from the date of the transfer before inquiring about this case...........................................................................

Bummer... from what i have read it is so hard to get a straight answer from anyone... How did the interview go, anything that sticks out? WHat were the documents they were asking for? But at this point don't expect much more... Get married and file for CR1

Yeah, we are planning to go that route, but I see now that it can take just as long or even longer to get a spouse here on a CR-1 =/
