NVC Issue

[YaawdiLuv 0]

Hello Everyone,

I called the NVC today to find out if our case has been sent to our Consulate in Jamaica as yet and I was told no. I asked why is it still being held, they have the file since 10/19/12, I was given the consulate case number. The CSR says to check back in a week and see. I asked her specifically if our case is in AP she says yes as of today it is and I should check back at the end of the week to see if it is released. My question is, is this normal at this state after receiving NOA2, I thought all background checks and verifications were done at USCIS, and what could they be looking for at this point and how long does AP at the NVC stage take? I am truly frustrated. Thank you for your response.

It happens. We were stuck there for almost 8 weeks in AP on our K1 visa, back in 2008/2009. It takes a lot less time now, but they do take the odd petition out of the queue, and subject it to extra scrutiny. Lately, it has been about 3 weeks before they send them on. They cannot deny, so don't worry about that. It seemed pretty pointless to us back in the day, and our FOIA request showed that it was purely random.

Keep calling them. We got at least two letters that said they would send it on to the consulate, even after they knew it was in AP. We never did get notified that it had finally been sent on. The only way to know is to call them.

Your situation is different from OP. They are a K1 filing and normally they just stop off at NVC and immiedately sent to embassy for processsing. You are a IR1/CR1 so you do all your Affidavot or support and IV BILL processing through NVC.

Thanks so much for your kind words, they did help. And yeah our petition might be a little bit odd since there is a considerable age gap between us and that might be a reason for extra scrutiny. But love conquers all. Thanks and God bless.

It does help to know that others have had similar experience. I am holding on to the fact that one day all this wait will be over and we will be together. I wish you Gods blessing while you are going through the process and thank you for your empathy. You guys are so supporting.
