case being investigated

[irishgirl73 0]

I just got a call from my congresswoman's office-vermont told her that my case is under some kind of administrative review..............can't stop crying. I just don't understand why this happened to us?

he said it may take another 90 days

I don't know how much more of this ####### I can deal with-how do they decide who gets investigated? my man was denied entry last year but it wasn't a big deal. I have no criminal record-so #######?????????

Sorry about the AR. I'm on the same thing with my CR-1. Only mine will take six months to "investigate". They choose petitions for AR mainly based on a name hit with the many databases they run the names through. If you or your fiance's name is common, then there might have been a name hit. Good luck.

Aww sh*t....I am so sorry to hear that pet and know you must be in absolute tatters right now. I'll say a prayer for you here that it will clear up soon and ye can get on with your lives. I'm sooo sorry to hear this, and could offer you loads of pearls of wisdom right now...but I reckon you're not in the mood for that. Sending my best wishes your way

I am sorry to hear of your AR. Hopefully it will be over quickly and you can be reunited with your loved one!

Forgive me but you just got your NOA1 in December on the 14th. Given that it was just before the holidays there's probably not much that got done in December. It's now February. This is well within the "ordinary" processing time-line. You've been waiting around 40 days.

It sounds to me like your congressman (why did you contact your congressman anyway?) got the "boilerplate" stock answer. It doesn't sound like they're doing anything extraordinary at all.

"Administrative Review" is a catch-all term used for many different purposes. AR in your case could simply mean they haven't completed processing your case yet.

Be patient. There are many here that have waited much, much longer.

I am a wreck-I just can't believe this happened to us. We have had a really hard year(he got denied last march). I just thought that we would be together in a few months & now this. I honestly don't know how much more heartache I can stand. Maybe now that my congressman got involved the will do the security check quickly? I can stop checking my e-mail now b/c there won't be an approval there

Hello Irishgirls ,

I am really sorry to hear that . But I am just wondering if your petition is under AR or investigation . Because they told you that VSC will investigate your case ,and maybe that is what they are doing and that is what they told congresswoman , and that is what they meant when they told informed your congresswoman.

I am trying to view this on positive way and hopefully I am right . I wish both of us a lot of luck because we are in similar situation.

Irish it is so hard when you get the dreaded AR/AP response. I can relate and just take it one day at a time. I will continue to remember you in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong.

Awwww, I'm sorry to hear this. It must be very difficult to know that you're stuck with nowhere to go and nothing to do.

Just remember that if your man's past is clean, the check will eventually turn up nothing and you'll be good to go. You may get held up, but they can't stop you. Best of everything to you and your sweetie.

You will be fine. Do not worry. Yes, you might be delayed, but it's unlikely that your case will take the 90-days stated to complete. Since 9/11 a good number or cases receive additional scrutiny, and there is often no way of finding out exactly why. It's true there is really little you can do but wait right now, but remember, the hardship you endure now will indeed polish your relationship into something more meaningful and longer enduring.

Why was he denied last year? What type of visa was he denied for?

[kaydee457 13]

Irishgirl- What does your online USCIS status indicate? Have you received any correspondence indicating that you're on AR?

[LibCampFireClub 635]

....my man was denied entry last year but it wasn't a big deal. I have no criminal record-so #######?????????

Certainly a visa denial will invite more scrutiny, so the nature and reason for the denial is VERY important. If your partner has a criminal past, or brushes with the law, it will come up during their investigation. You will be instructed by the USCIS just what you need to do when the time comes. If there is a denial because of the beneficiary's past, you will indeed be given the option of filing the I-601. I wouldn't worry youself about this until you hear more. Certainly, you need to ask your partner the specifics about why he was denied a visa......
