Administrating Processing at NVC for K1s?

[S&Pro 29]

Sorry if silly question, but as far as I understood, K1 cases at NVC are there to mostly get assigned a case number and fowarded to appopriate consulate correct? My case has been assigned a case number and  at NVC since April 2020  because of covid and stop on services, Lagos embassy has had no new K1 cases fowarded to them.Well I had sent an email to NVC 2 weeks ago asking a general question since Lagos has now resume scheduling interviews for cases that were already at the consulate prior to shutdown/ those whose interviews were cancelled. about nature of how they will start fowarding new cases, and this was their reply:

 

" This petition is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. You will be notified with further instructions when the processing is complete and the case is forwarded to the assigned US Embassy/Consulate General."

 

And am so confused cause this is the first I have ever heard of K1 cases undergoing administrative processing at the NVC stage and honestly I had not asked any specific questions about my case at all. So I am thinking this may be just one of their generic replies?🤷🏽‍♀️

I don't know for sure, but I think you're right and that's probably the normal generic statement. Typically it would only take a week or two for that administrative processing to happen (assign and inform you of your case number etc) but because of the COVID delays they likely just using that generic reply to indicate it IS ready but hasn't been sent (particularly considering the second sentence). If you already have your case number then as far as I'm concerned it's been administratively processed.

The actual response should be more along the lines of "Chill it's done, we're just hanging on to this until it's requested by the Embassy/Consulate but we don't know when that will be" but there's not much sense putting in the work to create that auto response

 

That's my working theory, at least lol.
