NVC

[JeffandNadine 14]

Why does NVC take longer to receive and process some petitions? We noticed that the NVC has already received and processed petitions with an NOA2 date after ours and are upset and worried.

After 2017 processes are taking longer , for example k1 visa used to take 6 months now almost a year . Waivers used to take 8 months. Ow 12-18 months . I believe the new administration had some sort of impact on the process .

There isn't an explanation to any delays of why someone gets approved, gets processed, gets mail, gets approved ahead of you or behind you. There is always someone who is getting leaped frog. It's just the way it works. Sure we can blow smoke up your skirt and give you a reason but no one with any certainty can give you the correct answer because none of us know. We have suspicions as to why but that's as good as playing the wheel in Las Vegas.

 

Your better off "mentally" not thinking why this and why not that. The process works, but not necessarily how we want it to work for our personal situation.

How did the new administration have something to do with it?

It is not really the NOA2 date that matters, it is when NVC receives the petition from USCIS. Some times USCIS takes their time, other are sent very quickly after approval. My case was expedited at USCIS and it still took them a week to send my case to NVC and another 8 days for NVC to officially receive it. Good luck.

Thanks! 

 

Ps Sorry for sounding whiny. Just got off the phone with NVC and was told they haven’t got our petition yet.

You're close. Usually 4-5 weeks from NOA2 to case number. Just a few more weeks. Call again at the end of the week then again the following if you haven't heard anything.

Google "ask nvc" send an inquiry by updating your email address with them.  They will send you an email when the case is assigned.   Sure beats sitting on hold

How did the new administration have something to do with it?

By making immigration laws more strict also the prices for visa applications went up .

Immigration laws didn't change because of the administration, but many are now inforced. The price of bread increased, did the administration tell all the bakers to raise their prices? The cost of adjudicating a visa is tied to your fees. When the cost goes up fees naturally increase. The administration had nothing to do with raising the fees. It's called inflation and is a common experience of capitalism sometimes referred to as supply and demand.

Ok got it , how come the time for the process is taking longer now that 3 years ago ? I remember before maybe 10 years ago the price for citizenship application went up because they said they were going to hire more employees so the process can be faster , who knows there is a lot of he said she said when it comes to immigration . My understanding now is that every case is different perhaps ...
