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

Many people are or have been in the same boat. There are numerous forum entries relating to being stuck in NVC. My sense is that it takes about 1-3 months there.

My own case is out of NVC now (it took about 1 month), and we're awaiting interview, thankfully. but I went through the same thinking process you did, with the same level of frustration.

Part of the problem, it seems to me, is that there is no transparency regarding what's going on. No one will tell you why a petition is held up, or how long it will take to resolve whatever the issue is. At least if there were an explanation, and a time estimate, it would help.

At some point, I am going to send a FOIA request to the NVC and USCIS to explore the issue, and to suggest that they change their procedures.

In the meantime, good luck to you.

I looked at other timelines here on VJ and some make it out of NVC in less than 5 days..5 Days!! 30+ days stuck at NVC just does not make any sense.

What's funny is the K1 flowchart..it says welcome to the state department things move faster here. LOLOLOL..pure BS at this point.

Rant over..

"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."

Adolf Hitler

I found this quote.... seems like it might have been the directive for the "your packet will be shipped in 1 week"

Of course I know who he was... a evil dictator who caused massive suffering(way understated)... and if you notice I didnt compare him to anyone... only the similarities of the lies told to all of us at the onset of being placed in AP hell... "your approved petition will be forwarded within a week" (paraphrased) and for me that week lasted 41 days... agonizing days that I had no way of knowing if it would turn into months or years...

So... the quote was uttered by someone who had no regard for anyone or anything....

And in MHO whoever decided that no information should be shared to the petitioner, and false information be mailed to the petitioner. also has no regard for the lives or feelings of the poor souls subjected to this cruelty...

also I meant no offense to any one on this site... Rather I was just trying to put a light on their absurd practices.. And the fact that if we as petitioner/beneficiaries lie or make a mistake we are punished.. The all powerful state dept. is not! so if any offense was taken I apologize.
