Relax, read my post about it. It's not more complicated, it should be more efficient. It's going to be electronic based. If you have any more questions send over a follow up, I'll be glad to field any concerns you may have.

Has to go to embassy or consulate for interview, but they may do the additional name checks at NVC, such as "Condor", Mantis", and "NCIS" checks normally done at the consulate stage.

At USCIS (Homeland Security Department) stage, currently, NCIC, IBIS and NIIS database checks are done, with the option, if warranted, to do additional database checks.

At National Visa Center (State Department) stage, a separate independent NCIC database check is done by in-house FBI staff in connection with information supplied in the DS-230. Based on results, NVC has the option to request full fingerprints to be taken at post. NVC checks can usually be completed in 24 hours. In some limited cases involving high-risk visa applicants meeting certain specific criteria, NVC also does Security Advisory Opinions (SOAs) before sending the file to Consular Post.

At Consular stage, there are three (3) Visa Security name checks done: CONDOR, MANTIS AND MORE ANOTHER NCIC (via CLASS)

[Consulate has option, if warranted, to run full gamut of checks, such as CCD (past visa applications & results), TIPOFF (DOS Bureau of Intelligence), NAILS (Nat'l Automated Immigration Lookout System), TECS II (Treasury Dept. database), TSC & TTIC (DOS Terrorist screening)].

CONDOR refers to a check done mostly of information supplied on Form DS-157, and focuses on visa applicants with a potential terrorist, firearms or weapons background. CONDOR in most cases should be completed in 90 days or less. If not, contact the VO Public Inquiry line at Tel: 202-663-1225 or usvisa@state.gov

MANTIS refers to when potentially sensitive technologies might be used by the visa applicant in her visit to the U.S. If the visa applicant might employ a "critical-fields" technology in the U.S. which could have a "dual-use" such military or national security application, this check will be done to screen out a high-risk applicant. Most MANTIS checks can be done in 30 days. If not, contact the SAO Problem Resolution Unit at saoinquiries@state.gov.

NCIC (via CLASS) refers to the name check procedure done by the Consulate with the NCIC criminal database at FBI. This procedure screens visa applicants by name to see if there is a "hit" with the criminal database: that is, a person in the criminal database has the same or very similar name to the visa applicant.

Rather than just hanging up when you hear something you don't understand, it would be a good idea to ask the NVC while you are talking to them......

You are allowed to ask them questions

Why ask VJ what they meant ? - ask NVC

cor blimey !

I would go with the advice from the top and ask. The NVC is more knowledgeable of all other agencies, at least that's been the case.

[Mononoke28 134]

Definitely. Call the NVC again and ask them if they can give you a detail step by step process of what the new way of doing things is. It may not be that complicated and it may even be a lot better than it was before.

They transmit it electronically when they enter it, on the next day, then they send the hard copy to the embassy. there has been no change in how they process K cases.
