administrative review

[ngant17 1]

I called NVC again on Monday and they told me the I-129F for my fiancee is under "administrative review". They couldn't tell me if it would be more than 6 months or less than 6 months.

I started the whole thing in Oct. 2005 and it seems to be getting a real long process.

I've contacted my Senators for an inquiry it that would help, I don't see how it could hurt but as it stands now I am at the mercy of these faceless, nameless beauracrats.

The only good news is that the NVC has my file, it isn't lost, although when I tried to use the automated response, it said my file wasn't in their records, according to the answering machine.

Any suggestions on how long of a wait I might be looking at?

When my fiance and I submitted our first petition in Feb 2003, our file spent 67 days at NVC. God, it was so painful. We got through it by calling twice weekly until it was approved. Typically, fiance/e petitions don't get put into the system so, you'll never be able to access the info via the automated line. You should ask to speak to an operator each time you call. Sometimes you'll get the standard answer, then there will be times when you'll get a little more info from a caring person.
