Im just jumping in here

If you already had your interview in Amman, then your file wont expire. There is a friend of ours that has been in AP out of Amman for almost a year as well. I hope your guys' time is coming soon. supposedly, i read somewhere on the dos(i think) site that there was a goal to clear all of the older FBI clearance checks/AP out this month(feb 2009). i hope and pray that couples like you guys get good news in the next month or so

here are the checks that NVC preforms on ALL files... just bored and trolling the dos website lol

1) Persons who are aliens and are illegally or unlawfully in the United States:

2) Persons who have renounced their U.S. citizenship:

3) Persons who have been adjudicated as a mental defective or have been involuntarily committed to a mental institution:

4) Persons who have been discharged from the U.S. Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions:

5) Persons who are unlawful users of or addicted to any controlled substance:

6) Persons who are federally disqualified when a record is not already included in the NCIC or the III:

I wonder what they are checking for us lucky "random additonal checks" couples. ha!

weee i passed today not calling NVC. i usually call everyday to check because I cant help it. lol. but finally i got tired of hearing the same thing from NVC that its still under process. My fiance recieved 3 letters from immigration but i dnt know what is it. i havent talked to him yet but he just left a msg saying that there were 3 letters from immigration. I wonder what were those? anybody here have an idea?

In one of my phonecalls to NVC, I asked if anything could expire because of their delays. The woman said that EVERYTING gets automatically extended, as long as it's in their hands, them being USCIS, NVC or USEM. I think I've read the same info elsewhere on the forums.

Either way, you should be safe. However, 10 months.. ugh.

I am beginning to have some real trouble dealing with our 7 weeks and.. 1 day. Or something.

My fiance and I agreed to avoid calling until another case gets DHL'd.

Well as I had nothing better to do today here are some K1 stuck at NVC statistics for those who asked for them (sorry K3'ers not ignoring you but I don't understand the process well enough to make educated guesses on how best to analyze the data)

This is a rough guide only(statisticians will probably jump all over it) but I think it demonstrates what we all feel which is they are doing something new!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

I used the K1 timeline information for cases that arrived at NVC between 1st november 2007 and 9th January 2009 (to give a full 12 month comparison for earlier posters in this thread). I cut and pasted the data into excel to carry out the calculations.

I excluded the following cases

- no arrived at NVC date

- no left nvc date where later dates eg: packet 3, packet 4, interview dates had been filled in

- no left nvc date for cases before 1st November 2008 as I am assuming these cases are no longer actively filling in their VJ timelines as I haven't seen them psting anywhere on their length of wait.

For those cases arrived at the NVC from 1st November 2008 onwards I susbtituted a left NVC date of today (5th February 2009) in order to work out current length of time at the NVC.

I was left with a total of 1333 cases.

Time at NVC

520(39%) stayed up to 2 days

611(45.8%) stayed 3-7 days

85(6.3%) stayed 8-14 days

29(2.2%) stayed 15-21 days

19(1.4%) stayed 22-28 days

15(1.1%) stayed 29-35 days

14(1.1%) stayed 36-42 days

13(1%) stayed 43-49 days

1 case was there for 52 days

1 case was there for 88 days

25(1.9%) cases not yet left NVC with waits between 15-91 days

Long stay cases (over 5 weeks)

(cases up to this duration seemed to have a random distribution for arrival at NVC throughout the timeframe looked at)

There are 51 cases which were or are still in AP for 5 or more weeks.

arrival date of these cases at NVC:-

November 2007 4 cases

December 2007 2 cases

January 2008 1 case

May 2008 1 case

August 2008 1 case

October 2008 1 case

November 2008 16 cases

December 2008 23 cases

January 2009 2 cases

the fall off in January may well be due to the proxomity to the end of the data period.

I'm impressed! That must have taken ages to put together!

[Y's_habibitk 2]

Talyss,

This is fantastic work!

It's ok that you left us out..I think us k3'ers can be lumped in with you guys I hope so anyway, we're planning on the 7 weeks or so

Good Luck everybody and I hope none of us get into the lower ended percentages

thanks - did take a couple of hours, but with it sleeting outside it was a good excuse not to go for a walk

[Badgerella 5]

Wow, Talyss. Great job!

Bad side of it - my fiance is now more than just convinced that we're screwed more than anyone else and that our case is gone forever, or already denied, or will be when/if ever it gets to the Embassy.

[Marmite Lovers! 0]

WoW! Thats great! Now lets make a name list. ;-)

[Badgerella 5]

So...

Holy ######?

Holy wow?

Some other holy person or... item?

I called them.

And - our case was forwarded to Croatia yesterday.

The lady was sure. I asked her to just.. say it again.

Should I call back and have someone else confirm it????

So.. they got it on the 15th of December, according to the lady. On February 4th, it was forwarded to Croatia. I am, right now, too lazy to do the math. Or, I just can't believe this is happening.

If Dec 15th really was the date they got our petition.. I think we DID manage to steal cdneh's queen-of-AP title.
