Sounds like your file is under review, there is no answer to when you will hear something.

If they said they are reviewing it now. That is a good sign. Did they say it was assigned to an officer, or just that they are "reviewing it"? The wording is important actually.

They usually have a few different answers depending on where you case is in the process:

"pending" <--means its sitting somewhere and no one has touched it.

"In the work que" <--It's getting ready to be assigned to an officer for review

"with an officer" or "being reviewed/adjudicated by an officer"<--your case is actually being worked and adjudicated for approval or RFE.

If your case is indeed with an officer now, you should get an answer within a few weeks.

Since you guys have been waiting so very long, I would definately write/call your local congressman and ask for a "formal detailed inquiry". They usually give the congressman more detailed answers than they give us, maybe that is how you got this answer?

I dont think you are in Administrative Review or anything because they probably wouldnt have given you a timeframe. With AR and AP they usually say "unknown"

I hope all of my babbling helped a little lol

they havent been approved yet so their file hasnt made it to the NVC.

love the thread for people who have though

this is what it says in the lettre we have requested your file for review pls allow a minimum of 60 days for a response pls tell me what this means and ty for replaying

I cant really tell from what you have said exactly where in the process you are - is it still in Vermont and you dont have the NOA2 approval yet?

well whatever it is, now is probably a good time to get your senator involved. You can find and contact your senator and/or representative online (although you will need to fax over an authorization) and have them make an official inquiry.

Good luck

thank you for responding to mine and my fiances questions but i do think we are in the adjudicated stage and that means maybe within the 60 days they will finally give us an answer when i put it on timeline it automatically gave me that answer so i am praying to allah that he will bless me and my fiance to be together once and for all if you have more info for us please let us know and you both have such a beautiful baby God bless you Yahya and Marie

Marie,

Hopefully it is with an adjudicator and thats what they mean by "in reveiw". If thats the case, it will be WAY less than 60 days. They have a canned answer for everything for every step of this process "30 days" "60 days" and so on. But its best to just look at others experiences, and once people get news that it is with an officer, its usually just a matter of weeks.

Good Luck!

I just saw what the letter actually said by seeing your comment in your timeline. They said they have "requested that your file be reviewed"... was this letter unsolicited or did you do an inquiry?

Without knowing all the details or knowing exactly what your letter says, i can only speculate

Well, once you put in an inquiry, the service center will typically send a letter a few weeks later with a response. From what you have said, it seems you put in an inquiry request last time you called and they sent you a letter saying that they have asked someone to review the case. This MAY mean, they are reveiwing(researching) the REASON why its still under process OR an officer is actually reviewing your files.

Here is what I would do if I was in your shoes....

find out who your congressman is

get the contact info.. if they have a fax #, this is easier

fill out a privacy release form(usually available on their website)

write a short letter asking them to do a DETAILED formal inquiry into the status of the case.

follow up with a phone call if you dont get a response within a week.

The congressmen have a liason at the service centers that they can contact, they get more detailed and up to date information than you or I get when we call.

They will need your receipt #'s, your contact info and the privacy release form.

Why are you filing another K-1 petition?

[marie_yahya 11]

Why are you filing another K-1 petition?

cos when i got the congressman to call there they said they did send me something to send it back in and they never did cos i faxed it the first time but they say they never got it so there for without getting a letter to do so i thought they had everything and now until they got a call from the congressman i just got the letter today just a few min. ago they said they sent me a letter stating that i had til dec. to send it in to reopen the case and it would cost 585.00 but like i said i never got that in anycase i will have to another petition for my fiance again and that is it they said
