Hi, On Jan 18 th 2007, I received information that my I 129 F fiancé VISA petition for my fiancé and her 12 year old son from China was approved and now being sent to the NVC for approval before it will be sent to China. It is now May 19 th and I am still waiting for any information from the NVC. When I call them they tell me that the paperwork is going through administrative process and that there is no time frame for this process. My questions are does it take longer for some applicants based on what country they are coming from? Is there an average time line at all for this process ?Any information on this would be greatly appreciated by both of us. We are both very frustrated right now.
Thanks Greg

There really isn't Greg. You and I are in the same boat with a similar timeline. I have started a few threads here and read everything I could. It seems like the A/R's at NVC are taking much longer than the ones at the embassy. I have seen few come out of it. One that I know of did. It was 1 year and 4 months. Another is still in it at 2 years and a few months. The fastest I have heard of is 10 months. Sorry if this is taking some wind out of your sails. Keep me posted and good luck.

You are not alone....

it can't be any worse...... just pray, that's all you can do, congressman, senator, doesn't help neither ( but, you should try yours ).

i just known someone from China's case sent to GuangZhou after 6 months.

good luck.

It almost seems like someone had a hair up their whatever about the third week in January. So many of us seem to have originated then.

I agree with bin, talk to your congressman. It won't help but it never hurts to try. A lawyer can't help either. There are 138,000 people in A/R. 68% are still there after 3 months. 35% are still there after a year. That is from the Govt website. I have a feeling IMBRA has created such a stack of these things that they are totally buried in cases to process. Perhaps when the new drastically higher fees go into effect it will give them some funding to do this faster.

I have seen a couple come out. One at about 9 months and another a one year and 2 months. I have seen another still in at a little over two years but he says there is now some movement in his case.
