I suppose we better join this thread. London hadn't received our package and despite having a letter from NVC stating our petition was to be forwarded on.....

We are in administrative processing sad.gif I am so upset right now.

I guess you could say....given when the letter was sent....that we have been in AP for 28 days now. Most of which i was completely oblivious there was any kind of problem. If they are going to hold your case up, you would think the least they could do is write a letter saying "hey we lied, sorry! We aren't forwarding your case on to the embassy, we are going to sit on it until we can be bothered to look at it...."

crying.gif


Don't cry and never give up.. our 52 days passed very quickly. because I felt support here from good people. You are with us and stay here wink.gif Like I said before all has the end wink.gif During this time, we have been gathering all documents and even right now we need more time before interview..

Good luck to you!!!

You know guys, today I called to our Embassy and I found out that my Embassy in Kiev got he notification letter from NVC on Friday, the 3rd of April. So, our case was done on Friday, last week! WOW!!! But Joe called twice them on Friday and he was said that our case is still at NVC...


It's good news but does Kiev have what they need from the NVC to schedule your interview yet? good.gif


Jam, Kiev can schedule an interview only when they get your papers from NVC, the notification email is not enough to make an appointment. I was said to call back in two weeks after our case was sent to Kiev. I called to the Embassy couple days ago, they said that they have an email from NVC, but send nothing or schedule interview right now, ONLY after getting papers. Understand?

hello all,

Initially, I started my journey posting questions about my K1 visa petition being too complicated as it is. The first post I had was about filing a K1 visa petition as soon as getting divorced. With it, after I stated my case, I got all the haters, without even thinking whats the real deal. Let me give you guys an idea on what was our situation before today.

My fiance was married to a Filipina for 8 long years. They have a 6 yr old kid. He petitioned the first wife 2002 with an IR1 visa category. In the middle of the petition, my fiance met me, around 2004. We started chatting online, since we were only introduced thru MySpace and finally met July 27, 2005 when he visited philippines that time. I knew about the marriage but he said they are longer together so I continued with the relationship with him. When he went back to US after that 1 month visit, I learned that they are still together and the petition is still running. That moment that I knew that they are still together, I broke up with him and the next day I knew i was pregnant with him. I continued with the baby, gave birth April 25, 2006. When my baby turned 3 months, I filed for a CRBA for him and it was granted and now he is a US Citizen already.

IR1 for the wife got approved March 2008 and left for Hawaii on April 2008. My 'fiance' continued with the petition because he thought the relationship with the first wife will be fixed once she get to the US. My fiance went to Guam and not flew to hawaii with her because he got an offer for a new job and a business around end of March. As you notice the petition took alot of years and the first wife already had the plans all set and dont want to go with him to Guam. THe whole plan was for the wife to go to Hawaii and my 'fiance' try to go to Guam and check out the life there. My 'fiance's ' business went well the same time as the wife got a stable job in Hawaii. He wanted her to come over to Guam with him and unfortunately, they started fighting over it and resulted to divorce. My fiance filed for a divorce on July 2008, that was 3 months after the wife got to the US.

My fiance decided that after the divorce, he will petition with with a fiance visa petition. Divorce was granted Oct 3, 2008. My fiance filed for my K1 visa on Oct 10, 2008. He went to Manila for 5 days and proposed to me on October 15, 2008. I am all worried about our case bec he just got divorced and the ex wife just got to the US. I know that it will be a red flag for them. But we still pushed thru with it as we really have a bonafide relationship with trials and mistakes along the way.

We were also worried about his income when we'll have my affidavit of support since he got there in the middle of the year meaning it will be hard for him to earn income good for 6 household. THat will include the ex wife, their kid, me, our baby my first kid and him. But his business suffice the income and made 35k for 6 months plus savings. so were ok with that.

People here thought that we are having a VISA Fraud with my case and will cause the first wife to be deported and me being denied on my interview. Let me tell you guys that I JUST GOT MY VISA APPROVED, for one because we really love each other and our relationship is genuine. Mistakes happen, we are just people not perfect as it is.

For all the people who hated and posts stuffs againsts my case, I understand your point. And thank you also for being a part of our journey.

Thank you people!

My STucked @ NVC family means alot to me. Thank you, thank you thank you.



WOW! You are brave and I am really happy for you!! I hope you will have good and happy life together in the USA! Good luck to you!!!

God bless you!

rymusic04, pgp, Mford019, foreverlove - you are welcome here. I'm sure you'd rather not be stuck here, but at least you know you're not alone.
It seems that even as we get new releases from NVC - they are intent on filling the queue with new 'stuck' people as well. Oh well.

Some of you guys are very near to getting out.It should be just a matter of days for you at this point.
You can track your progress at the link below. It was down for a while today, but it seems to be back up now.
I guess that's what happens when you host at a free webserver (I chose nxserve.net), there's absolutely no control over when they choose to shut it down sad.gif. I may start looking around for a more stable place to host.

Good luck to everyone - hope you all get out soon!

Yes, we will get through it. Its just so hard to try to explain it to my fiancee. Thank God she is way more patient than I am. We both know the wait is just a small bump on the road to our happiness.

Hey man, I am in the same boat, i got my NOA 2 on feb. 17nd 2009. They said up to four weeks, I hadnt heard anything, I called yesterday, and they told me it was undergoing additioanl processing, The guy i talked to was straght foward and sadi he didnt know why, and he could explain what that ment, so i have been trying to see if anyone else is going thoruhg them smae thing, i guess we just got to sit tight! I know how your feeling, We wanted to get married in may, but it doesnt look like thats going to happen, anyway hope all goes well for you!



You are another one who is closer to get out of NVC! Let's hope for good news soon!

Just wanted to talk about how my call to the NVC went today. They received my case on the 23 of March and I got my case number on that date. I called Monday of this week and learned for the first time that my case was undergoing "additional processing".

Today I was going to be relentless in tryng to find what this "additional processing" meant and how long before my case would be sent on to the consulate. The woman I talked to either did not know anything or just was not very friendly. I didn't expect her to know specifically why my case was help up. She made it sould normal and that the process takes up to 4 weeks. That does not agree to what I have always heard here about K visas - they stop very briefly on their way to the foreign consulate. I asked if my case was being treated differently than others ... I asked why I was sent a letter saying that my case would be forwarded "within a week" to my consulate. I was very polite but persistent in asking what this delay meant.

The only answer I got was that it takes up to 4 weeks and I will be contacted when it is sent on. They always confirm my phone number and email address when I call for some reason. I find it hard to believe that they would ever call me!

I just would love to know, as I suppose everyone here would, why this delay happens and what a legitimate assessment of the wait will be. The waiting isn't the worst part ... Its not knowing how long the wait will be.

Darn it! I've got a wedding to plan!

Thanks for listening to my rant.


Every time when you call to NVC you speak with different operators.. we also got 2 letters.. but it means nothing.. you need to call them every day. First weeks, we were said to call in a week.. we know that we almost gone from NVC and call them every day.

Stay here and good luck to you!!!

We're stuck at NVC too...not even a case number...........(sigh)....... early approval from USCIS don't make any sense...we have to go through the same time average of upto a year or so........

The only ones we know are truly stuck AP are Nadiya&Joe and Jennifer&Rico, because they are active on our message thread.


Hey bud ... I post on VJ every day! biggrin.gif

... and I'm in post in this thread every couple of days ... don't forget about us! tongue.gif


Of course! No offense intended. You're most certainly not forgotten.

My remark was just in regards to the cases that seemed like they were imminently going to be approved. You guys are at 42 days, so I guess you're getting pretty close now!! Hopefully it comes through for you quickly!




Sorry, but I didn't understand, how do you know that you are stcuk at NVC too? Did you call them? As for us, we called them and got our new case # by the phone. Did they put your case into their system?

Jam, don't pay attention on timelines seriousely. Yes, many people don't update their profile at all. No one has duty to do it every time when they get any news or approvals. All depends on you and your wish. It's approximate dates.

Let me send you one link which I sent before here.. and you will see that case are being in AP spend up to 60 days. And any case has individual events. Let's wait wink.gif

Good luck to all!!!


Thanks Joe & Nadya for the state.gov info. The good news is most of those members that I did look up using the Ron's new lookup tool were already out of AP @ NVC.

I'll be glad when you are out of AP because you guys are 17 ahead of / before us. According to the timelines, members from Ukraine average 40 days or so. I'm using this time to make repairs and upgrades to our home and staying busy. So please be sure to let us know the good news when it happens.
cheers..



You are welcome, Jam wink.gif Well, tomorrow will be 42 days since we are stuck at NVC. Joe called them yesterday and he was said to call in a week, but we call them every day. I think next week will be the last waiting week.. Yes, we are ahead and closer to be out of AP, but you know, here is a game, who is the luckiest? wink.gif

Good luck to you and all!!!

Cheers. Nadya.

Here it is!!


Do you fondly remember Igor's List?
Wasn't that a useful tool to have when you were still at CSC or VSC and waiting for your NOA2?

Now that you've graduated from USCIS and have your shiny NOA2 in hand, wouldn't you like to have a similar list to tell you where you are on the NVC pecking order?

Well, I now present to you.... The all-new automated "Stuck in AP @ NVC" List.

Check it out, let me know what you think. Spread the word around....

http://apnvc.nxserve.net/vj.pl

This list gets rebuilt from VJ database everytime you reload the webpage. So it's not a static compilation like the old tables I had been publishing previously. Enjoy!!


This is great tool,

I sent the following email as feedback hopefully to suggest some improvement(s):


Hello XXX,

Thanks for the great lookup table. If you don't mind I have a suggestion.
Some folks have forgotten to update thier timeline and it shows as if they are still waiting.

for example:

These couples have an interview date set already, so it must have left NVC, but they show as still waiting.

http://www.visajourn...?showuser=52829
http://www.visajourn...?showuser=56247
http://www.visajourn...?showuser=60513

this guy got his NOA2 but has not returned to the VJ since:

Last Seen: 23rd December 2008 - 09:10 AM

http://www.visajourn...?showuser=58626


also,

I think it would be great to see a column describing the visa type, e.g. K1, K3 etc. unless they are all k1.

If you can filter those I think it would be a lot more accurate.

Again, thanks a bunch for the great job!

BTW ... for those who finally got out of AP HELL ... how did you find out? Did you get a letter, email, phone call, etc? Or was it by your daily phone calls to the NVC to check on your case.

When I call to check on our case, I am always told that "we will contact you when your case is forwarded ... ". Pardon my negativity, but I don't really have a lot of faith that I will get any notice or ANY kind from the NVC when they finally let us out.

Just wondering how it went for you ...
Steve


Hi Steve!

You need to call them.. don't think about letters.. it does't help.. we keep calling thm every day.. with hope to get out soon..

Good luck to you too.

Nadya.

of course everybody will be worried and wonder about a case. As for us, we still don't understand why we are in AP because USCIS approved. How our lawyer said if USCIS approved we don't have to be delayed at NVC at all.

Another day without news sad.gif I hope next week will bring more positive news..

Good luck to everybody who is waiting for any news from NVC!

GOOD DAY EVERYONE, IT'S ALMOST 3 WEEKS SINCE I'VE BEEN STUCK AT NVC, I WAS JUST WONDERING HAS ANYONE BEEN RELEASED FROM NVC JAIL BEFORE THE 50 DAYS AVERAGE (MEANING 25, 30, 35, ETC)????

OR WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE REGULAR 50 DAYS (- / +)?


LUISH


50 is approximately time.. most people get out of AP in 50 days ( +/- ) if you read some posts before, last week one was out in 5 weeks.. so, no one knows when it happens.. maybe today?!?!?! blush.gif

Good luck to everybody!

How I remember about the way of our case from USCIS to NVC, our case was approved on 6 Feb and next 2 weeks we didn't have nothing.. just kept calling to NVC and USCIS. NVC said that never got it, USCIS said that they sent it and we had to call them in a week again. If NVC gets nothing within a week to call again and then they start searching where the case was lost. I think you have to keep calling them.

And today we also called to NVC.. and today the operator asked Joe to call them every 2 days.. Does it mean we are close to the end?!?! blink.gif Before they asked to call on Fridays, today every 2 days..


They told me to ring back in 2 days when we were on our way out of AP, that was on the Monday - when I rang on the wednesday they said it had been sent on the Monday so maybe they can see that its waiting to depart but aren't allowed to say till its gone?


yes, it could be.. I think so.. we will call on Monday and hope it will go out of AP smile.gif
