What? Awww, Mohan I am so sorry to hear that! It's probably some red-tape mumbo-jumbo... I can't advise you as to your next step but it's only a little past 3 weeks now -- wait the full 4 and then see what's going on...

I'm sorry about this -- if it makes you feel even a teeny-tiny bit better, we here in Canada have to wait months for our interviews to take place so I too am in a black hole of waiting.

Sorry, Mohan...

this too shall pass...

Sometimes petitions are ' pulled randomly ' for checks before NVC sends them to the designated Embassies.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I called Last night and spoke to an operator. She put me on hold and came back to tell me that my case was in teh review department. So i asked if I were in AP she said no, she did not see anything of that nature. and she said I was still going through normal review. She said they may be backup and that is why it is taking time

Just to confirm i called this morning again, and spoke to a different operator. I asked the same question, " Am I in AP" She agian said no , your case is going through normal review processing and takes 2-4 weeks to complete the review, sometimes takes longer

Kenza, i heard and pray and wish you all the best. GOd is good. he will take care. :)

Out of curiousity, have I not been at NVC long enough? is it normal to be at NVC for this long ?

Yes, called this monring and AVR says " we completed this case on Aug 26th. Please allow ..."

Called back and spoke to an operator. She confirmed both the cases have beeon completed as of yesterday. Cannot logint o NVC payment site either.

She also said, "NVC schedules interview on the second week of a month for the following month. we cannot give you sepetember interview date for the load the kathmandu Consular office has. So call back on or after Sept 15 and you may get October date. Keep in mind that depends on the couslar business, meaning how swamped they are."

Well, seems like i am on the final lap of the journey.

Is it time for the Medical ?

AP bhaneko Additional Processing pani bhanchan, Administrative processing pani bhanchan.

NVC ma chai Additional processing re ani Embassy level ma chai Administrative Processing re. Khai ke khai ke .....ma ta kurai bujhdina

aba tetro sabai processing garera GC , tespachi thap processing garera Citizenship li sakeko lai pheri ke ko Additional Processing.

Luckily my case was not in AP. In fact what i have found or heard is usually I-130 cases are not in AP at the NVC level becasue if any needs to conducted, it will be done at the Embassy.

Tehi bhayera. Tara yo process sakayera visa nalagunjel cahi yestai khai ke khai ke chai bhai rakhne kya.... :)
