investigation on Beneficiary? & processing time is slow on March?

[chinausa 7]

hey friends,

I wonder if FBI not only investigate my background but also investigate my fiancee in her country? and is that why the process takes so long?

Is March usually a slow month to process the application?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, background checks are done on both parties.

The process takes a long time due to the number of cases they receive everyday, for all different types of visas.

There isn't really a slow or slower month really, it all depends on cases received, whether they are focusing on a type of petition that's getting behind, the actual person analyzing your petition (some work faster than others), your evidence, your particular case, etc. It's a lot of factors, really.

You can research the number of petitions they receive to have an idea of how much they have to work to keep these going as fast as possible.

Ok, the bottom line is to find out if both parties have any crime record, right?of cause there is no country would like to bring any criminals. Using FBI, sounds kind of scary, isn't it. We are just wanna get married and be together for the rest of our lives.

Anyway, there is another question, my fiancee will have her interview in her country. Do I have an interview before Immigration issue NOA 2 ?

THanks

Yes, the checks are necessary for security reasons, and it's really not scary (unless either party does have a record that would prevent them from being issued a visa).

You won't be interviewed at all. After approval your case will be sent to your fiancee's consulate where she'll be interviewed (in some consulates you can attend, in others you can be there but not in the room, not sure for China).

I'd suggest your read the guides, there's a flowchart that shows the steps of the case and you can have an idea of what's next and be prepared for it.

Thanks.

I just read few articles about people have been waiting for 1-5 yrs to get their name checked with FBI, even though they are not criminals. I mean this is crazy, waiting is not a problem, but waiting while be apart that's insane. it's not humane at all. Nobody could do anything about it??? I wish our case goes smoothly and fast.

Some people have similar or even the same names of people blacklisted and some people's cases get forgotten in the system, and those things can cause delays, but it's not as frequent as the usual "speedy" checks.

how do they check the background on someone from somewhere like Nepal? my fiance there doesnt have a background (police) to check. and if that part of their govt is as corrupt, pirimative, and unorganized as all the other parts i've seen, they'd have to actually send someone around there asking stuff in fluent Nepali. its not like they keep everything on a computer there. is this why we still wait in agony?

namechecks occur on every stage of this process - have a read?
