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

Tell me I'm dreaming...called NVC today and was told we were still in "Administrative processing" but this process goes "really quickly" and I should call back at this time next week. Approved petition received at NVC on 4/29. My little woman just hit the roof. She explained to me that the VJ Wiki says the average time in AP is 50 days. Someone please shoot me.

Hi, Hang in there :) Ours took 14 days. I Got on www.dhl.com and watched all shipments going out to our embassy and when I saw one enroute I called NVC and it was ours.Check out my link explaining how to do this http://www.visajourn...72#entry4567372

Good Luck :)

AP...

1. Additional Processing

2. Administrative Processing

It's my understanding that all recieved petitions go through #1:Additional Processing, which means it is being bundled scanned etc. in order to be sent to Embassy. After speaking to a CS Supervisor tonight, she confirmed this is the term for "we are getting it ready to send out to a con/emb." "It should be sent in about a week."

According to another post, which I can't find now, #2:Administrative processing means they are reviewing the application/petition for some other reason. It is not being readied for sending to a con/emb. This is the "Oh #######" one.

Can anyone confirm this?

The CSR's @ NVC use the terms interchangeably.. they don't really know what is going on just that it is taking longer than normal... in a nutshell it means that they are doing something that has slowed down the case and it could be a background check or any number of other reasons... the good thing is that it usually takes a month or less...
