STUCK @ NVC for AP

[cdneh 3,112]

I just found out this morning that our visa has been selected for AP. Our NOA2 was July 27th and on Aug 3rd we got a notice saying our case had arrived at NVC and should be forwarded to the consulate in a week. I called NVC hoping to make sure it had been sent along (because it is so expensive to call the consulate). I was really bummed to hear the news. I hope it gets out of NVC soon. It looks like from reading this thread that times vary vastly.

It does suck when they tell you that..but times are coming down. I guess they are getting the hang of it..maybe

Where are you seeing that times are coming down? What would you say is the average stay for someone in AP?

There is a spreadsheet, which I will try and find for you, made by one of us who were at NVC.

Times on the average now seem to be in the order of 3 weeks, and sometimes less. We were there for 7 and a half weeks, and at the end of last years times were on average 50 days. A few of us went over that.

In case I haven't before, I'm letting you guys know I arrived safely in Minneapolis last Saturday. My mother, sister and brother are also here, so it's been buuuuusy.

Congratulations Badgerella..I am glad to know you are safely here

Good morning everyone.

Just curious how everyone found out they were on AP? Is AP for K visa's only or can CR-1 visa's also go under AP?

Thanks.

We found out because we rang, as the Auckland consulate had not received the E file.

Any one can go into AP, K1's did not usually until the end of 2008.

I called NVC this morning to ask how to get my file into the automated system so that I wouldn't have to call and ask to speak to a person every day. The person I spoke with said that K files are never put into the automated system because they move through NVC so quickly. Then she said we have already sent yours to the CDJ embassy as of yesterday. So, after 15 days we are out of AP and our application is on the way to Juarez. Every step has been frustrating so far but it does feel great when the process moves forward.

If you call the NVC, they will tell you if you're in additional processing. I would suggest speaking to a real person there (instead of using the automated system).

Hours: Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 AM (EST)

Tel: (603 334-0700).
