This sucks.

:angry:

Well said Steve :thumbs:

I dropped by to check on you Scott, sorry you are still stuck!

Hang in there Steve S... and the rest that are stuck in AP at NVC... we aren't the only ones... all we can do at this point is keep bugging them, but stay strong and focused on the end result... hurry up and wait! UGH! It is frustrating, it sucks, but there is nothing more we can do about it. At least we know we are not alone. 24 days for us today... next Friday marks 30 days for us. Here is hoping that what we have read holds true and that the 30 day mark is the pivotal point and they begin moving again. Paul, my fiance, brought up a good point, use this time to get our stuff together for the next leg of this horrific ride so we can be one step ahead of them... that is all we can do. AND it is ridiculous that they cannot tell us why our petitions are being held. This is our information, this is our lives they are messing with... we should have a right to know. There needs to be some change in this process so others that come behind us do not have to go through this mess. In my opinion, this is the worst experience ever. Malena :)

We're stuck there as well. They received our case 19th September. Sent out 2 letters, on the 24th and 26th November stating it would be forwarded in a week. Told after speaking with a supervisor

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

I've read my NOA2 notice quite carefully and it doesn't say we have found this petition to be eligible for a Visa...it says that the petition has been approved for one. They really ought to stop pri

He is right, this is the perfect time to get everything else you need ready to go. I managed to get the medical over with on the strength of having the NVC case number, even though we were still in AP, and we had all our ducks lined up and quacking when they cut us loose. It gave me the feeling I was doing something even though I felt like we were standing still. :thumbs:

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

I wish there were something I could do, but its all ready to go to the interview now and we will be doing the medical next month when I am there... Its just a waiting game and I know there is nothing we can do to speed anything up.. the only thing that calling does is to let us know the day it got out... It sure does not make waiting any easier... I find it better when I dont call...

Friday will be a month and that seems to be the average as you said... I am hoping that we dont end up in AP at the consulate as well.. thats another 90 days or so of a delay...

I know she wont be here this year based on how long it takes to get through the consulate....

ScottThuy, Friday will be a month for us as well. We are trying to remain positive that this will be the end of it for all of us that got stuck between 22 September and 24 September. With any luck, and lots of prayers, perhaps our loved ones will be returned to our arms by Christmas. In addition to everything else, I am writing my letter to Santa too... it can't hurt LOL :) Again, trying to remain positive and focus on the end result, not this awful, awful experience. It is making us all crazy. Perhaps it would be less of a headache if they would tell us why they are holding our petitions! Please remember, you are not alone... will be here to offer whatever encouragement we can for each other. If all this wasn't bad enough, Royal Mail in the UK is prepared to go on strike! It just keeps getting better and better (she says while humming the Benny Hill closing theme)... you have to laugh to keep from crying. Hang in there and keep the hope alive. Malena :)

Some possible good news today... a theory was presented last month that if one inquires, "when should I call back"... if they say call back in 5 days or on a specific day.. it is likely good news... I was told to call back on Friday.. That will be the one month point... Keeping fingers crossed.... this could be light at the end of the NVC tunnel for that group of sept 22-24 that got stuck...

Good morning to all of you stuck in AP @ NVC - one month ago we were still there too. But we woke up this morning together in the US, so despair not—there is life after NVC AP!

On a related note, does anyone know what's going on with Thantita's List (timeline data on NVC AP)? The site registration seems to have expired: http://apnvc.info/

Improved USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information)

Form field input font changed to allow entry of dates in the specified format and to provide more space for addresses and employment history. This is the 6/12/09 version of the form; the current version is 8/8/11, but previous versions are accepted per the USCIS forms page.

My contact at Congressman Johnson's office wrote me that the NVC advised her to call back in 2 days. From the other posts in this thread, that may mean that NVC is about to move on my case. Crossing my fingers!

Its looking like we will all be getting out in aout 30 days from the day we got in... I wonder if they have a goal of 30 days for AP...

We just found out today that after 27 days in AP, our petition is on its way to London... hang in there, Steve S and the rest. Call them now... you may be surprised. We are here for you... this uphill battle is not over by a long shot yet. Prayers out that the rest will be freed soon! Much love and prayers to be reunited with your loved ones soon. xxx :) Malena
