From what I've learned from other people here on VJ, it is quite the norm for NVC to do additional backround checks on the petitioner/beneficiary, in most cases the petitioner. It's very frustrating a

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Great idea Lisa!

I'll be travelling in just a few days now, and if there aren't any posts we might fall off the first page. I am sure, sorry as I am to say it, there will be new people who've no idea getting stuck at NVC is even an option after just getting approval, and it's quite a nasty shock to find out it can. If anyone comes looking, I'd like them to find this thread.

There's a lot of information here, in amongst the banter, and I can only speak for myself but it was nice to have company while we waited. When we were first here there were only a few of us, and there really wasn't any sort of idea with regard to length of time, and we have seen an average develop. Some get out sooner, and thank heavens no one has been here longer. I'd like to see everyone get out of jail in less time, and perhaps over time this new bit about subjecting cases to extra scruitiny at NVC will get streamlined and may take less time.

I'll still hang around. There's a great many aspects to this journey I'm not much help on, but I can certainly say I have a little experience here ;)

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.
