Green card for my cousin who is spouse of us citizen

[Ammara 6]

I have a cousin who is like baby sister to me. She got married in December 2019. (Only nikah no rukhsate)Her husband is US citizen. He lives in Wyoming. He applied for her case in feb 2020. I-130 is not yet approved . I am so much concerned about that why I-130 is not approved yet. I know its covid but i applied for my parents in sep 2019 and it got approved  in april 2020. 
even after approval and nvc it is taking so long for interview so i m really concerned that how much time it will take she is kinda frustrated because it was totally arrange marriage and she thinks she is stuck in trouble for no reason. Her husband just camr for the ceremony and then covid n all n he never visited pak. 
is anyone in same boat. 
also if she applies for visit visa i know chances are like zero but still if she applies will there be any impact on immigration case. Plz help

I don’t quite know the terms but could that be the problem? DOS says

 

Document Name: For U.S. immigration purposes, Pakistani Muslim applicants must present both an original, signed Nikah Nama (with its English translation) and a NADRA-issued marriage registration certificate. Note that while both documents reflect similar information, each on its own does not constitute sufficient proof of marriage.

The petition delay has nothing to do with this, but I think she will face difficulty when it comes time for an interview if they only had the one quick visit.

 

There would be no impact on the petition if she applies for a tourist visa, although she is unlikely to get one.

I would think they would receive an RFE for this.  Perhaps one was sent and never arrived.

What does it mean? I also think that they missed something in documentation.

You mean to say because boy did not visit her, it would create problem at interview.

If the petition and initial supporting documentation were insufficient, the petitioner would be sent an RFE (Request for Evidence).  If he didn't receive it/respond, the petition would just sit there without anything further.

I also say to her in laws that there is something missing but they say we never got any email.

The petitioner is the only one who can look into whatever the delay is with this case.  Why would USCIS email the petitioner's parents?

Her husband is petitioner, he says never got any mail. The attorney who they hired for the case died because of covid.

No no totally out if family.

Okay, well again, only the petitioner can make inquiries into their own case at USCIS.  Maybe suggest that he contact them.

What does the online status say? If an RFE was sent out, the online status should reflect this. 

When you use an attorney, often the correspondence from USCIS goes straight to the attorney and the petitioner often never get anything. So it's possible something was sent to the attorney.

I get the feeling the petitioner doesn't really care if they get approved or not, since he's not here asking these questions himself?
