Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone. I hope so too! By the way I am living in Thailand and it was pouring two days ago. My soi was flooded and I had to take a motorcycle taxi. I was thinking about your wife's accident and praying the guy didn't tip over. Fortunately I made it.

well I have been in Ap since march 24th :(

Sorry to hear that :(

It's been a while since we got any new members here, I was rather hoping that perhaps NVC was easing up on AP ..... guess not.

Hope you get your 'release' soon :thumbs:

Thanks it is quite depressing, o well I will just wait.

has anyone ever not come out of AP? :)

I've never heard of case being denied at NVC stage for a K.

At the consulate level.....sure.

But administrative processing IS something you will get out of. Even if right now, you feel disheartened.

But administrative processing IS something you will get out of. Even if right now, you feel disheartened.

I remember someone posted on this thread way, way back in the early days (around Dec/Jan) that NVC does not have the power to reject a petition outright. All they can do is delay it indefinitely, but they must pass it on eventually to the consulate. Only CSC/VSC, or the consulate, can reject a petition or visa application. Which kind of makes you wonder why NVC would even bother holding a file in AP since they are obligated to release it and pass it forward. I don't believe they can even issue an RFE (at least, we here on this thread have never heard of an AP case being given an RFE). All cases apparently just pass through with no ability by us to understand why they are being held, for how long, what exactly is being checked, or why. It's a very frustrating, maddening experience. The only thing we can say with some certainty is that it will end, and it your case will eventually get to the consulate.

Any other old-timers (cdneh, Talyss, Badgerella ,....) can you comment any further on this?

I think of you as the "old-timers" since you pre-date me :)

Actually the consulate cannot deny an approved petition at the application stage, they can just send it back to the US with a "suggestion" for lack of a better word.
