Hi,
Visa petition I applied for my fiancee has been refused under INA 212(a)(5)(A); of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) for an invalid petition.
Current status: The cesc site shows status as Returned to NVC. After calling NVC couple of times, the manager called me back saying that they have received the application back and it is currently under Administrative Processing at NVC.
Short Background: I am a US Citizen. In Dec. 2011 I went to a wedding and met my fiancee's uncle and cousins and later we were introduced. We talked to each other over phone for 1 1/2 month before I decided to go meet her in India. In Mar. 2012 I went to India to meet her and got engaged. After returning, I filed for her visa in May. It was approved in US and the application was sent to US consulate in New Delhi. My fiancee had her interview in Nov. and was given a 221g form. We submitted all the requested notarized documents with proof of relationship(phone records, chat records, records of gift sent). On Jan. 2, 2013 the status showed to be refused and my fiancee received the letter of refusal on Jan. 15, 2013 of refusal under INA 212(a)(5)(A).
Possible Red flags: The only possible red flag is that my fiancee had tried applying for visitors visa 3 times just before meeting me. She was asked regrading that during her interview. Also, during her interview she was asked few other questions which were bit odd.
My fiancee and I are very upset, angry and sad. So far I have asked our local Congressman's office to investigate what could be the reasons for refusal. Is there anything else I can do to get them to approve the application? What should be my next step?
Also, what does administrative processing means once the application has been returned to NVC and how long does this take for them to complete and respond to me.
Thank you for your kind help.
