Hi guys

 

 

My husband submitted two inquiries for a case outside of normal processing times for my case and my son's (his stepson's) case.

 

The response he got for my son's (his stepson's) case was:

"We have received your service request and researched the status of your case. We have had to perform additional review and this has caused a delay in processing time. Your case is currently with an adjudicating officer. You should receive a decision or notice of further action within 60 days."

 

The response he got for my case (spouse) a day later was: 

"We have received your service request and researched the status of your case. We have had to perform additional review and this has caused a delay in processing time. Your case is currently in line for processing and adjudication. Cases are processed in the order in which they were received."

 

Why doesn't it state a number of days for my case? Has this ever happened to one of you and were the cases ultimately adjudicated at the same time (since one is the spous' and one the dependent's)? Is this simply because the service requests have been answered by different people sn looked at by the same person, or do we have to expect one case being adjudicated earlier than the other?

 

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Their estimates are meaningless, anyway.   Actually, there is no deadline for cases to be reviewed.  It will be done when it's done.

Hi LuckyCat,

Thank you for your answer. So I do not need to be concerned that our cases (IOE) will be separated (Step son gets approval before spouse)?

No.  The cases can be coordinated at the NVC stage.  You can wait until both cases have reached NVC, then pay fees and submit documents.  That way, they can go to the consulate together.
