NVC Administrative Processing

[sjmitchell 0]

Hi, our I-129F Petition was approved 20 Oct 2008 and received by the National Visa Center 27 Oct 2008. The NVC has yet to send our approved Petition to the Embassay as our Petition is undergoing Adminsitrative Processing. I call them dailey, yet they are unable to tell me when the approved I-129F Petition will be sent to the Embassy. Anyone have insight to what Administrative Processing is about? Thanks.

Hello,

Another Vjer told me that once you get your NOA2 you can find out the interview date, this is what she informed me:

You will be able to find out the interview date even before he gets the paperwork if you call the department of state, you can call that after you receive the NOA2.

Anybody knows if this is so?

Or why don't you or your fiance contact the embassy, you know how sometimes this people at the NVC don't give you the right info. Maybe the embasy already has your paperwork!, I'm just guessing but who knows.

There are security checks at every stage of this process... any one of which can hold you up for any amount of time.

We were held up at NVC for 3 weeks. No clue why... both have clean records, uncommon names...etc.

All you can do is keep calling NVC (dont forget to talk to a live person as K-1's are not entered into the automated system. ).

In answer to the other question... DOS can often tell you if your case has reached the Embassy, if P3/information packet has been sent out and yes, if an interview is already scheduled.

If this person has already called NVC and they state it is held up in AP then DOS probably wont be able to tell them anything more just yet as the hardcopy of the I-797 has not been received by the Embassy.
