hmm... 82 days, or 63 days.... Is that like USCIS saying it will take 5 months, when really it was 3? Hopefully... my goodness...

I hear you, that's my story exactly. Working so hard to get money for his trip here, a small wedding, and AOS, there is nothing left for a trip to visit before this is all over. I'm glad to see other people in that boat, it seems so many couples are making a trip to visit each other every six weeks or so on here. Which is wonderful... for them. lol

I hope you are all out of AP quickly. I'm following this closely for my own future reference.

I wish you all a long life full of love together. smile.gif


Awww... thanks RoughSweet! Yeah, it is a little sad to read posts of these people that just hop a plane whenever they want... I have no idea how I'll be able to afford all this, but there will be a way... somehow....

For the past month it seems to be anywhere from 3 days to more than a month.


I think I could handle that... I mean, if they only gave us a timeframe, you know? We'll send it to London before the end of next month... something! I mean... yeah..... I can do this... lol... I was able to be away from him for 14 months... I just saw him this April... I can do it... I'll just keep telling myself this.... unsure.gif

Ok, been doing some research on recent NOA2 approvals from around the past month. Only about half from the UK seem to get stuck in AP for any great length of time.

Mysterious.....


I wonder if they all got stuck in AP in general... what the average number of days for AP for UK folks would be...

Money and Government seems to be the bane of my existence. I wish I could afford a trip to England, but I don't even know how we'll get enough money to fly him down when his Visa is approved.... What's worse, is I work all day with really REALLY rich people... it makes me miserable sometimes, seeing how easy life could be for some of these people. Someday, I dream to be like them biggrin.gif... except, I'll be with the love of my life, and not with people just because they want money... suppose I could look at the bright side... lol...

So.... after reading through April and May K-1 Status update topics, I have noticed the tendancy for us UK immigrators that we all get stuck in AP almost immediately! This topic is for any discussions about NVC status updates, especially for those of us waiting for our packets to find their way out of AP and off to the London Embassy!!!

How many days have you been stuck? Any explanations for the difference between Administrative Processing and Additional Processing?

I found NVC had my packet on Friday, spoke with someone on Monday, and they said I was in Additional Processing, and there is no turnaround timeframe to go by on when they could send my packet to London...

Who has been sent to London? How long did it take for your packet to leave NVC?

Wishing us the best of luck!

...ps Chaz: how did you know that you passed your medical on the same day? (you didn't have to wait for any blood test results?)


Because he's had blood tests before at his regular GP, and he doesn't have AIDS or anything like that. So if the X-Ray came out clean, and they said all of his stuff looks great, then he passed!

Also...

Just talked with Sara in the Visa DOS whatever place, she said her systems are down, but if they logged that I was eligible for an appointment last week, then I will probably be given an appointment date in the beginning of December. She said they only give appointment dates at the beginning of every month... which sortof coincides with how we seem to see spurts of appointment dates all coming in at once. But she did say it was doubtful that I would get an appointment before Christmas.. cray5ol.gif

Then we wait...
I'm still really really hoping for a before Christmas interview...


I really hope you guys can get P3 sent off soon!

The paperwork is available in PDF format. Have you tried getting him to fill it out and send it to you to make sure all the stuff is filled in right?
I filled mine in like 5 times before I printed it off.


I filled out most of the forms, he has them... He says he's got everything but one form and the checklist filled out. Now that he has the medical date, the checklist can be ready. For the form, there is nothing else that he has a reason to wait for, he's got the dates, the printer is working... everything is there, just needs to be filled out at mailed! I won't harass him this weekend, but come Monday, I'm jumping on it again! Hopefully he'll get it finished next week. Then we just wait for an interview and make sure the medical goes smoothly!

How is everyone doing so far? As of last Thursday my petition was at NVC going through additional processing. I hope I am out by Monday. My fiance was able to download the documents for packet 3 from the embassy's website. Now we are waiting for our petition to get to the consulate so he can forward the packet 3 and get our interview date.

On my end my goal is to have all the documents ready for my fiance for his interview. I am going to give all these document to our family member who is going to India next week, and that will be delivered to my fiance as soon as possible. I have had bad luck with sending snail mail there. I don't want to take any chance.

I don't think Monday is going to happen, my bet is Wednesday.. Monday is a holiday. I think you'll be sent from NVC on Wednesday.

Riggs has had the P3 for almost 20 days now. He is still waiting on some information he needs from the council to complete the forms, hasn't even sent off the correct request for his Police Certificate. I guess he sent off the request that cost £10, not the right one that cost £30. He doesn't have a working printer, and this is seriously driving me insane. Every time I talk to him and hear that no progress has been made I feel so frustrated, I'm never in a good mood when we talk anymore... Anyone have any advice for me? I feel like I'm at the breaking point, and my dream of picking him up at the airport is floating farther and farther away from me. unsure.gif

Hi! I have a question.. Is it possible NOT to get an email before getting the hardcopy? Apparently our case was touched AGAIN 08-28-2009. What does this mean!!! My fiance is at work in the slopes and he cannot check the mail and his brother won't freaking pick up my calls (lkadjfaojlamglajsdfopjasmf!!!) !

Now I'm getting worked up if we got an RFE or a NOA2 !! mad.gif


My case looked exactly like that... bet you that your NOA2 date will be 08/27/09 and the date the hardcopy letter will be mailed is 08/28/2009. I never got an e-mail, I never got a status change.... in fact... it still says pending... but I've got the letter from NVC saying it was received, and also NVC told me on the phone when it was sent.... so I bet you those two touches are just like mine!!!

Sooo.... NVC says I'm in AP... crying.gif Hopefully they do throw that word around alot, because now I've got no time limit to wait... no fun.



Did they tell you outright that it's in AP? I called today and they said they received our case on the 24th, that they couldn't give a time frame because each case is dealt with on a case-by-case basis. That "there will be some additional processing and our case will be forwarded to the Vancouver embassy." Was her phrase "additional processing" code for AP status?

I called back because I forgot to get the NVC case number the first go-around and mentioned having heard the phrase AP and asked if there was any indication our case was in that category, and he said it didn't look like it. I wasn't sold, though : \


Yeah... AP is either Additional Processing or Administrative Processing... I've heard Administrative is the really bad one... Additional could be any timeframe.

I Just called the NVC today... they told me they sent off my packet yesterday! I was in AP for 4 days blink.gif .... So, don't fret when they say Additional Processing... it could end up being really soon! good.gif
