I wonder if this could be delaying our K1 NOA2?

[deadbird 2]

At this point, VSC--YES, THE FAST SERVICE CENTER-- is taking so freaking long with our petition that I'm just looking for any reason on my end that could be holding this up.

1. When I came back from Egypt on April 1, I was detained at JFK for about 40 minutes because my passport had been flagged. They didn't tell me why or what happened, but I had to sit in some office and wait to be called to the desk and asked a ton of questions regarding my original passport application (filed in December '06).

Obviously they let me have my passport back, but they would NOT tell me what was wrong with it. However, while they were holding my passport before calling me to the desk, this was the conversation two officers had about it.

"Hey, have you seen anything like this?" --points to me--

"No..."

"Says it's stolen!!" --points again--

"Weird."

?????

I have no idea how it happened, my passport was on me at all times. If it was a real problem I wouldn't have been let back in the country, right? lol

2. As a minor (age 17), there's a possibility my fiance overstayed his original B1/B2 visa. Or maybe his stay in general.

3. When my fiance left the states in 2001, his father stayed behind for about another year before returning to Egypt. However, he sold my mom my first car. It was only $400 but would that be considered a red flag? He had bought that car from another Egyptian immigrant whom he eventually had a falling out with.

4. And speaking of the immigrant whom my fiance's family had a falling out with--when they originally came here in 1999, they stayed with them. Is it possible the gov't contacted that family and they said bad things about us? They wanted my fiance to marry one of their daughters and my fiance's family said no and left. That family had started in the guardianship process for my fiance to go to high school with the daughter here, but my fiance moved out and found a new guardian.

5. The realtor who sold my parents their first house in 1987 later became my fiance's legal guardian for high school (small town, small world...)

Maybe I'm thinking too hard about all this but....when it's all I think about, I can't really help it.

Hang in there... VSC will still be catching up to its receipting through 7/27.

I thought they were going to do that until the 13th . They are starting to stink.

They first said they would be in trouble because of the unprecedented levels of receipting on 5/11, and expected VSC to be in compliance by 6/2.

http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/H1...eipts051107.pdf

Then, on 6/8, they revised the date for VSC to be in compliance to 6/22.

http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/Re...Times060807.pdf

Then, on 6/22, they revised the date for VSC to be in compliance to 7/13.

http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/Re...Times062207.pdf

Then, on 7/6, they revised the date for VSC to be in compliance to 7/27.

stay tuned...

Wow, not only are you full of information, you're a superfast replier!

Thanks so much for the information, even if it is depressing .

Wow. That's a lot of information you've shared.

Some of the issues that would only be potentially raised by the situations you describe would factor in at the Embassy stage (overstays, etc), not necessarily at the petition stage.

Also, those receipting notices I *think* pertain to the issuance of the actual approval document - like the paper that comes in the mail. It doesn't seem to apply to the actual PROCESSING of the petitions. A similar problem was facing CSC filers with the receipts (notices of approval). For example, we were approved on May 3, but we received our NOA2 TODAY, the day after my fiance's embassy interview. Go fig).

Sorry about the delay - I know how frustrating it is. We waiting longer than the average CSC filer, so I can empathize. Best of luck!

Ok, yeah, there's a lot of info there but it's all kind of vague LOL. I was thinking after I posted that I should edit stuff out but I can't figure out how! They should have some kind of hair-pulling smiley thing. lol

Thanks guys, but I'm really starting to think that there's more reason for our delay than just the fact that VSC is being super slow.
