STUCK @ NVC for AP its been 3 months since my NOA2....

What? 3 months, you could of completed NVC with your CR1. You might want to consider doing that, I was in AP with K3 for 37 days, while in AP I completed my CR-1 at NVC in 28 days, both cases were completed the same day!! Plus I have a interview date for the CR-1 already, AND no word from embassy on the K3 yet for packet 3.

Think about it, and follow CR1, AP has not time limits being stuck in hell.

Isnt the CR1 for couples that havent been married for 2 yrs yet? my lawyer said that wouldnt work for me...

"I'm really sorry but the only information that we can provide you is that your case is in AP and that there is no time frame regarding this process, You will be notified when this process is complete."

Same word for word from the intial csr as was provided by the supervisor that followed....

has anyone actually been 'notified' that the case has been sent to the consulate?

The supervisor actually got loud with me and was kind of pissy.. I apologized if I upset her by calling, but I just wanted to know why I was having o wait while others were being sent to our consulate almost every day. Then she apologized saying that they just got the file last month... I dont care if they just got it yesterday.. I was just looking for some valid info...

"You are more than welcome to call back as often as you like sir" And I plan to...

No, even though they promise every time you call, I have never heard of anyone being notified in any manner that their case has been sent on. The only way to know is to keep calling.

Sorry to hear that, but that means will take a while. I got my first clue from a supervisor, after going through other supervisors on daily basis. Also today, one of the regular rep said - like never before - "Yes you are still in AP, but your case seams to be towards the ending process, call us back Friday.", now of course she didn't knew that i talked with the supervisor a day before and her version was "If, they won't tell you Tuesday anything, (meaning the reps) escalate the call. Then i asked: Do i have to escalate my call to someone particular?. she said No, anyone from management staff should be able to give you more details about your case Tuesday. " That's how i got my clue.

Isnt the CR1 for couples that havent been married for 2 yrs yet? my lawyer said that wouldnt work for me...

BS!!!!! A CR1 is a conditional visa married under 2 years. A IR1 is a married visa over 2 years. YOU qualify cause YOUR married.

Did lawyer tell you to do a K3? If so, only reason so you put more money in his pockets for the AOS .

I married my hubby in Feb. and we finish NVC with a CR1 path. Your married , your qualified for CR1 or IR1!!!!!!!

Follow your I130 thru NVC dont wait for K3 PM me if you want to talk more. Stupid lieing lawyer!!!!!!

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

Some lawyers are like that. Other not so much, but usually expansive. If you don't trust them (like me), spending few hours on internet, can give you same results if not better then any lawyer UNLESS you are dealing with some waiver for USCIS - but usually that's hard to obtain even through a lawyer.

P.S. someone post in this topic that, the lawyer told them that the AP process takes "normally" 3-4 months. If i would be the client of that lawyer... oh boy...:) no comment for the rest...

Agreed!!! This lawyer is taking advantage of him, bad enough told him the BS that he cant do the CR1, while K3 is in AP hell.

I will be more then happy to help him with NVC, and get thru NVC while K3 is in AP. I said I was leaving this thread due to out of AP and interviewing for the CR1 ,but I cant, I love this thread, and I want to help!!!!

Truly happy!!!

I am not clear about some of what has been posted - I have called and called and all the NVC supervisors tell me is we are undergoing additional processing and I can call as often as I want.

If I am reading this correctly, it's all about HOW I call that determines if we stay in AP? Have I misunderstood?

03/26/09 : NOA1

09/23/09 : NOA2

11/13/09 : APPROVED and visa in hand!!!
