NBI letter of explanation and NBI clearance with "aka"

[Giskat09 2]

Hello,

my parents had their interview today and im really confused on what they need to do especially on my father's case. The USEM took their passports and they filled out the 2GO forms before they left the USEM. They dont have any paper slip with them..

Here is the email:

i got an email:

What i told them is to print this email then bring it to the NBI main office. The guy in the USEM first said that they will contact the NBI about this matter but then he changed it and said he will just email the petitioner (which is me) with the instructions.

there's no problem with my mom but when i checked her status it says administrative processing, does it mean that she will not get her visa until my father's case is completed?

Yes print out that email, take it to NBI, they will proceed from there and NBI will forward the letter of explanation to USEM.

All case files go through an AP process so your mother being in AP could mean nothing out of normal.

I went to same procedure too. After I Did my interview at NBI still I'm under AP for a month now. This waiting game really drive me nuts!

[Giskat09 2]

OMG! thats too long. Im hoping ours wont take that long but man .. sigh

[van&neil 1]

Yes quite frustrating. I thought after I Did interview at NBI for letter of explanation, I only have to wait another week but hell No! It's again another month of waiting. Sucks!

[Giskat09 2]

is there a specific dept. where u can request for an explanation letter? they said the NBI submit the documents to USEM every Friday only. 1 month is already long, #######.

[van&neil 1]

Yes that's true, NBI submit only every Friday. My status went to Ready Yesterday then back again to AP today!

There is a department within NBI that answers the 221(g)'s. Yes Friday is the normal day that documents are returned back to USEM. AND YES, you will need more patience. The visa process is not a race it's a marathon. In due time your status will change and soon your visa will be in hand. PATIENCES.
