I have a 'touchy' question...

[lgg 2]

Do the service centres and such make decisions regarding our applications and such based on where the non-USC is from?

Do you think some countries get preferential treatment over others? I was just wondering as I figured they just did there jobs based on

fact and how the procedure should be followed and such... .

What do you all think?

[Laura+Tom 2]

No I don't think that is the case and I don't really see any evidence to show some get preferential treatment.

Well I come from a country which is meant to be a US ally! Its been 9 months & we're still waiting for our NA02!!

It is my understanding the service centers review the petition to make sure all the documents are present, filled in correctly and fees are paid. They don't make decisions about the petition based on the country of the beneficiary.

Yeah, that's what I thought and was hoping too.

Just check that things are correct and that'd be that.

I don't understand how two petitions can arrive at a service center at the same time and one processes quickly while the other sits for months on end. It is one of the universe's mysteries

I think higher fraud countries take longer, but that's just a personal opinion.

I'm not so sure, Claudeth's petition was done in a little over three months from mailing to visa. I don't believe we will ever understand it

I come a country that is an ally and close neighbour to the US (right next door in fact) and on each and every phase of my immigration process I took longer than the projected time line. I have no criminal record, received no RFE's nor is there anything suspect in any of my applications. If any country should get an easy 'pass' you would think it would be Canada - but it doesn't happen. Canadians are processed the same as any other country. I do agree that certain countries that have higher risk factors for fraud or terrorism might be slower in certain aspects (ie. security checks) but I don't think the processing is country specific for preferential or non-preferential treatment.

I think they are anti-Canadian.
