Believe it or not the NVC can jack with the process too. 

 

They aren't purely a middleman that does nothing but hand it off. 

 

If that were the case then why even exist. 

 

Like payxibka said, they sit on those hands for a hell of a long time if they are doing nothing but passing the buck. 

 

I can't say for sure what they do but if I were to guess, the whole notion of "Administrative Processing" they always fall back on when people call to ask about the status of their case is them spot checking the package for any excuse to either sit on it longer or send it back to the USCIS. Because hey! Why not throw out the power trip and show everyone they can jack with you if they want with no repercussion.

The NVC is part of the DOS.  For K1 all they do is forward the case to the appropriate consulate or embassy.  They may hold onto it for a period of time if the embassy is asking them to.

They exist for visas that require intake like immigrant visas.

I just called the NVC to ask out of curiosity and they told me they do look at the case to make sure everything is in order. If they find something they deem to be wrong with the case they will send it back to the USCIS (whatever that means). I suppose there has to be layers upon layers of checking what's already been checked.....sigh. That's on top of them creating a case number and inputting the case into their system. 

 

Just another step in the process that could potentially result in a delay. 

 

I'm with you on that they should do nothing but just send it off but we all know nothing is ever that simple when dealing with a government entity. 

 

I mean honestly, why add another step to the process if all they're going to do is drop it right back in the mail?

Because without nvc which is a part of the department of state, you are asking the uscis , which is a part of homeland security , to make a decision on what embassy to send it too.  Can you imagine how many misrouted petitions there would be 

YMMV

Good point.

 

Agreed, they facilitate that part of it, otherwise, cases would be mistakenly sent all over the place. 

 

What I was trying to convey was that they don't simply just take cases and send them off no questions asked.

I'd agree with this. Nearly 8 weeks in AP at NVC for us. There are two rather large threads on here in regard to that.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Because you need as much red tape and inefficiency as possible, that's why. Can you imagine the government making this process simpler and faster? Anathema, so many people had to wait in the past, so all the new potential immigrants have to wait in the future. 

 

Personally, I don't understand why the process of issuing visas is not handled by embassies entirely, there's the occasional DCF but it's too rare. But I'm the one creating the system, so what can I say?
