Whether or not you receive an October interview date will depend on just how busy the Embassy in Brussels is, I don't know one way or the other. Realistically, you should anticipate an interview date in November and be pleasantly surprised if you get an October interview date.

I anticipate my wife will have a November interview date.

Thank you for reply.

Don't worry about no SIF, others have recently posted that they have been assigned interview dates without an SIF. I have always believed SIF was just that and doesn't go hand in hand with anything else.

SIF? I'm lost here ... ?

SIF is short for sign-in fail to the online payment portal. Until recently, if someone was unable to sign in to the payment portal after sending all documents to the NVC, then it was a precursor to a case complete. However, in very recent times, people are still able to sign into the payment portal even after they receive a case complete.

SIF means nothing, case complete means everything.

Here is our answer.........

Hi xxxxxxxx,

USCIS records show the I130 case WAC xxxxxxxxx is currently under review. We contacted the appropriate division/officer and let them know there was a Congressional inquiry on this case. The officer has stated we cannot move forward on the case until all unresolved issues/reviews are complete. A required thorough review must be done before a decision can be rendered. Unfortunately, we cannot speculate as to when this review process will be completed.

We realize that your constituent may feel frustrated by delays related to his or her case. USCIS must weigh individual inconvenience against the broader concerns of public safety and national security. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in a timely, efficient manner that ensures public safety and national security.

We will make every effort to make a decision on this case. If your constituent does not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 180 days of this email, please feel free to contact us again. We apologize for the delays and any inconvenience caused.

Oooh that doesn't sound good. Seems like they are doing a lot of security and background checks on your both. Hopefully nothing comes of any of that. Wishing you the best!

I would REALLY like to know how many "threats to national security" have tried to use the "permanent resident immigration through marriage" path to get here. gheesh. I am SO sorry you are delayed b/c the USA is such a fear-based society. SO SO SO sorry.

No, there is no AP at this stage, it's "extra background checks."
