My husband's CR 1 visa case after interview is sent back to NVC, how to proceed further?

The difficulty here is that cases which are refused at the Consulate or Embassy and returned to the US are not a great priority. As a result, it is sometimes hard to get a straight answer as to where the case is at. You can try to get more specific information from the consulate or embassy as to when the case was actually sent back. You can also keep checking periodically with the NVC to see whether the case has passed through the NVC. You can also check with the approving service center to see whether it received the case back. If all else fails and you believe that the consulate or embassy was incorrect in rejecting your marriage case, you can refile.
