Okay. Reading the Pinned Thread in NVC gives me some relief..At least they said "ADDITIONAL"

"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."

and:

"Not necessary. They told us our case was under additional processing too but our case just left the NVC yesterday . All K-1 cases go through additional processing. Most of the cases leave the NVC within 2 days to 30 days. There are some cases that stay in AP for up to 60 days but that is rare nowadays. Just keep calling once a day and ask."

Hopefully, this is all true. Would hate to be struggling just to get out of NVC... :bonk:

Yes. I'm hoping the fact that I called so soon. (It was received yesterday and a case number assigned) that just the very act of packaging it and preparing for being sent to the consulate is considered additional processing...Really hope that is all it is. I'll call again Friday I think...And hope for some good news then. Still worried though. I just didn't want to hear those words at all....Anybody have any insight?

Me too bro. I'm concerned about it. It still seems out of the ordinary since it's "additional." There really doesn't seem to be a clear consensus about what it includes...after all this to be delayed again will be pretty devestating...really hope Im out of there by Friday...but now who knows...
