What do they mean by additional processing?

Got NOA2 on the 1st for a K1, called them today and they said they got my case yesterday. Gave me an LGS number and then said my case was undergoing additional processing and they will let me know when it's completed and sent to the embassy

Occasionally they subject K1's to extra scrutiny at NVC. They started doing that back in 2009, just when we arrived there, as luck would have it. I searched all over the place trying to find out what was up, not even here on VJ could I find out a thing.

In the end, a few more people started to pop up here and there, in the same situation. We started a thread, under the NVC forum, which is pinned.

We were held up there nearly 8 weeks, and missed Christmas together that year.

We were told it is down to security checks, name checks, that sort of thing. We filed a FOIA request in the end, and it turned out to be random, just as the consulate in Auckland told me.

I understand that they still do this now as well, but that times are way way down from when they started.

They are meant to let you know when they send your petition on, but we never got a notice, nor did many others. Keep calling them, is all I can advise.

Good luck, I hope they forward your petition soon
