It could take a couple of weeks (sometimes a bit longer).

It usually takes a couple weeks! I am not sure what they are reviewing? I know some people who ahve petitioned before have made a mistake on thier petition that their service center did not catch?

I wasn't counting on that...... I thought I'm in a clear now. Damn it. Now I have to make correction to my finance arrival time frame...

Anybody else has an experience with NVC administrative review and how long it took?

Thanks once again for response.

They (NVC) always reviews approved petitions, this is neither new or usually something to worry about. (If you'll notice in the K1 Flowchart, it indicates 1-4 weeks for NVC to forward the approved petition to the Embassy/Consulate.)

It took a month for us

Never heard of the NVC doing reviews. Only that is was a handling center to route petitions and applications. The NVC makes no decisions but is only the middle man in the shipping of documents. Thats what I was told when I called them. Mine went to Kazakhstan through the NVC. It was received and shipped to the Embassy the same day. Don't understand the hold up on yours. Sounds fishy to me. Have you tried calling the Embassy to see if they have it already? The Embassies are much more nice to deal with then the USCIS processing centers or NVC. Some will let you give them an email address and email you as soon as your docs arrive at the embassy. Call them anyway so they will be looking for it. Good luck and keep us in the loop with what happens. Take care.

Sorry for another post but that really bugs me. I would be burning up the phone lines to everyone possible. Patience is great but doesn't mean you stop bugging them or checking. I called everyday for 10 days to the processing center after 3 months of waiting, I wrote to the Obudsman and called and sent emails to my congressmen. Maybe I was stupid for doing this but you know what, things happened rather quickly after that. She had her interview on Tuesday of this week and gets her VISA on April 1st. She will be here the following week. Since I called the Embassy ahead of time they emailed the packet 3 docs and interview letter in lieu of snail mailing them. Like I said they are very nice to deal with. Maybe the NVC does check cases for accuracy or something who knows. BUG THEM!! GOOD LUCK!! Don't give up and keep your chin up!!
