Why background check BEFOR NVC???

[joymike 0]

We are trying to be patient, It is difficult to do so when noa 2's are being processed 6 weeks ahead of ours on a regular basis.

Everything was set to be pre or post Christmas to match up with my 11 holidays my employer gives us at Christmas, + 2 weeks vacation befor or after. Now since I promised I would be over at Christmas to meet rest of her family and I have 11 free days I have Spent 1900 on airfare and about 5000 total, then I will do the same at time of Visa which may be Feb. or March 08. Who knows? Very expensive delay for me.

Does anyone know if it finally gets to NVC if it will go back to 6-15-07 group of files, or will I be at the back of list? I called about this ? but I got answers about everything but my ? that I had asked..

Thank you for your info. Good luck to us all. Mike

Was told on phone, " doing a background check on me. Anybody seen this befor?

NOA 1 6-15

NOA 2 ??

Background checks can be done at any step of the process, at the USCIS, NVC or consulate/embassy. If that is the case, then your case may be delayed for a few days, weeks or months.

I think NVC takes it as it comes and sends it out...so it doesn´t matter when you filed when you get to NVC stage...I think Good luck and get there soon

For what it's worth, I heard a report on NPR last night that the government is being sued by an individual going through immigration who's papers are being held up for background checks. The court ruled in his favor and they are required to completed the check within 45 days. You've waited a VERY long time!

Thank you all for your information. I am not interested in a lawsuit aginst USA. I see his frustration, especially if we have done nothing wrong. I have worked for Homeland Security for 2 years previously during 9-11 Boeing layoff, Background and drug check. I have passed USCIS $5000 background and drug check and interview in past 4 years for Customs job(high blood pressure history and vision prevented this job) (I think they do things backwards in hiring process.) I got recalled by Boeing 2005 and had background and drug test, and work at Military Boeing location. I have in the last year renewed my Concealed weapons permit in King County Washington ( fingerprints and background check) Im not sure what triggered this check, but I am pretty disapointed in the process and my fianc'ee is very worried that it is because I did not hire a Thai Lawyer at the "visa shop" and it is my fault it is taking so long.

What I do not understand is that I have been a productive, model citizen for 45+ years. Served in Military, worked for almost always #1 exporter at Boeing co. for 25 years and have a 95% score on my credit report. My fianc'ee has passed her police background check, worked since she was 12 and wants to become a US citizen and would make a excellent addition to this country with her work ethic and good attitude.

Thank you for letting me let some steam off. Mike

Did you get NOA2? Or without notification your package was sent to NVC? I have read that a few people experienced this. They never got NOA2, but their packages were sent to NVC and online status was still pending.

No NOA2 yet, no notification, 6-15-07 NOA1. I only found out about background check ( or so I was told) when I called Info. Line and nice lady told me what was hapening. She said call back in 1 week. I did and got the runaround, never saying anything about background check like 1st lady told me but cases are processed in order recieved. My Fianc'ee asked me last night "What are my plans if we do not get Fianc'ee Visa?" she thinks I am in control of Visa process because I am an American Citizen and I paid USCIS for a Visa. She learned in Thai school that the US government works for the people. I told her they do, but sometimes they are busy doing other things. I'm sure I will get processed soon.

Never mind. I am in Thailand with my Fiancee now and opened up USCIS on third day here and I got my NOA2 December 19. A little over 6 Months. Anyway, thank you very much USCIS folks. I feel much beter now knowing that things are moving along. Now with the NVC average time for processing only being a few weeks over the last year, it should be just another 4-8 weeks before we can be together permanantly.......Right?
