Hi VJ'ers,

We got our NOA2 after many months on May 3rd. After a week, we called the NVC, and they were very nice on the phone. They gave us our case number and said after about 1 week, our package should be sent to the embassy. Since we didn't receive a notice that it had been sent, I called them back yesterday. The guy told me that our case had not been sent yet to the embassy and it was in administrative processing. Does anybody have any idea if this is normal or what this is about? Our case has been there for 22 days (including weekends). It is long by the timeline guide.

Thx

Our NOA2 was April 19. The case got to the NVC on May 2. I called and was told the case would be sent to the Embassy the next day. I decided to follow up a week later only to be told my case was in AP and no time limit for getting out and no reason given for the AP......I got out May 22.

Thanks. I just don't understand why some fly through NVC and others get stuck for weeks.

Its the job of any government agency to meet a quota for ####### they have to screw up.

The longer they hold it. The more likely it gets lost.

Then they can justify their jobs by finding it.
