My friend received a letter from the embassy. Does this mean she has to do it all over again?

You have been notified that your registration for an immigrant visa was cancelled, and any petition approved on your behalf was also cancelled. We informed you that your application might be reinstated if, within one year, you could establish that your failure to pursue your immigrant visa application was due to circumstances beyond your control. Since you have failed to do so, the record of your registration and any petition approved on your behalf and all supporting documents have been destroyed; any Department of Labor certification has been returned to your prospective employer. I think she applied for the waiver, and she was approved but she received a letter after a while.

Waiver for what?   What visa was she trying to get?

 

You have not provided adequate info here.

More info please 

what kind of visa ? 

[Ketchup&Mustard 5]

She got her I601 waiver approved, and it was an immigration visa. I'm not exactly sure to be specific, does this mean she doesn't have to do it from the beginning again, right?

Maybe send her our way.   I’m sure she can explain her situation a bit better.

My friend is an elderly lady, so she doesn't use the computer often, I think she may be applying for a family or spouse. But after a while, she received that letter, and she would like to know if she would have to do it all over again with her attorney or not.

It seems like she had a chance to do something but didn't and now it's over. 

You really don't give us enough information to work with. If she has an attorney she should consult with them. Or if she feels like the attorney messed it up give us the full picture and timeline of events so we can help.

The thing is, you don’t know the full story either, so it’s hard for us to understand and help. Maybe sit next to her with the computer on, so you can tell the full story.

From my experience one of my family friend had similar situations they didn't take any action on nvc process for like year and they received same letter. And they tried everything to reopen the case but the response was you will need to restart everything from beginning. 

 

Lawyer said since USCIS and NVC already full with cases they do not want to keep track or keep any data for such cases. So they basic threw your case to dustbin.

 

However if she has proof for approved waiver. She should get lawyer to help her with this. There nothing she can do by herself they won't even look at her email. Because in there system this case doesn't exist anymore.

Also if was approved for i601 waiver, NVC is not part of any process. After I601 is approved case directly goes to home country embassy and they schedule interview and all

Is there a website we can check if she has to restart from the beginning so I can check that for her? I want to check for her if it is the same thing online as she got in the letter?

Who petitioned her for a visa?   Maybe the petitioner could help her, since you won’t have access to her case details.
