If you ever thinking about asking the ombudsman for help with you case just forget it. They are just as useless. I sent a quest for help and the response was, "you will hear from us in 45 days". Really? Five weeks and still my approved case hasn't even left for the NVC from TSC.

I saw at least one person on VJ with NOA2 of July 24 who got sent to NVC LAST WEEK. SO WHAT IS THE ISSUE WITH US? Guess we don't pay enough taxes!!!!

I think it depends on who you get when you call. Some people are just lazy and won't make the effort to get the information for you.

Anyone know of this happening, where a case was sent directly to consulate bypassing NVC?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 a month after being approved???
I have the same situation. Five weeks since approval and case still at TSC. MY NOTICE ALSO SAID SENT TO CONSULATE but that is a lie. I suspect your case and mine are still sitting on the desk of the lazy person who processed them and did not get sent to the mail station, and oone is willing to go check. So they will sit there until the approved petition expires. I contacted ombudsman, congressman, NVC RESEARCH, TSC, NSC. DOS. and no one is doing a damn thing.

I have seen where it is said that when you are in AP, CONSTANT CALLING AND EMAILING ONLY MAKES THE PROCESS LONGER. THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO TO SPEED UP AP AND YOU SHOULD JUST WAIT FOR IT TO BE COMPLETED. THIS IS A NEW POLICY WHERE THEY PUT SOME CASES IN EXTRA AP. NEW SECURITY POLICY.

When they all about immigration reform I'm all for it. But they should reform the current process first before taking in new initiative because I would not want to be apart of it when they start adding new categories. Just imagine the delays then!!!!!!!

If you revived an NVC case number then your file s at NVC if it is in AP there it just means thy are doing their work on it before sending to consulate

Some of us, others have already received their case #s. I guess it depends on which new trainee got our files to work. I think they have new employees who do not know the proper procedures. They could be sending our files to the NRC instead of the NVC. updating the records with the standard message when approved but not completing the steps to generate the auto mailing of the approval. They could also be taking random files to be audited by the supervisor after approval for quality control. Just my theory.

Doing some research on this TSC TO NVC problem. Turns out that there is a recurring Robles with TSC sending the approved petition to the NRC instead of the NVC. And no one bothers to check, they just gve you the canned response. NRC is NATIONAL RECORDS CENTER. People, that is a holding pattern. If you don't keep emailing, calling, it may just sit there forever.

They need a overhaul of this entire system. It makes no sense that it takes weeks to send an approved document to another office. It's not like we still using the pony express, well! It is Texas !!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdministrative processing for K1 Visa at NVC?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdministrative processing for K1 Visa at NVC?
Individuals applying for an immigrant visa may find that their cases have been placed in Administrative Processing for one reason or another. They are neither denied nor approved as additional time may be needed to make a determinative response in the case. This decision is made after the visa applicant's interview by a consular officer. Most administrative processing is resolved within 60 days of the visa interview, however, when placed in administrative processing, the timing will vary based on individual circumstances of each case.

In immigrant visa cases such as the K1 fiance visa, a consular officer may conclude at the end of the interview that there is simply insufficient evidence to approve the case. The reason may be that new evidence was discovered during the interview that raised a red flag, or an administrative discrepancy to warrant a secondary review. A visa case requiring additional administrative processing may take months to conclude, however, in this writer's experience, providing additional compelling evidence of the bona fides of the applicant's relationship to the American petition may assist the officer in making a definitive decision in the case.

Administrative processing is a state of flux that leaves a visa applicant frustrated and confused as there is no definitive guidelines as to what the immigration issues are and whether the applicants can do anything to compel the proper agency to respond. Additionally, it is within the discretion of the interviewing consular officer to place a visa case in further administrative processing as the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) provides ample guidance for officers to exercise this power based on their factual finding.

Whether the case is outright denied or placed in administrative processing, a visa denial applicant should consult with a competent immigration attorney to review the case and provide the best course of action based on the applicant's unique sets of facts. Consular processing attorneys are in a highly advantageous position to assist since they are able to inquire directly with the consulate and embassy where the applicant's case was denied.

I would be much happier if my case was in AP at NVC rather than be stuck at TSC for six weeks. At least you get answers at NVC. TSC s a darn black hole.
