[simsim 0]

Hello my friends

well i had a friend who got his interview on 4 of jan 2010 then he been asked for co sponsor and prove for continue of relationship .. he got the co sponsor and the prove of relationship...he DHL papers...his case is Cr1 .. and he been married since march 2008 ... now its may 2010 ... the problem is that embassy sent him mail saying that :

The Case was sent to National Visa Center for adjudication on April 19, 2010. The case file was sent by the diplomatic pouch.

we are little bit confused here ... and when he call NVC they told him that Your case under review and it will take 6 months to a year ....

any clue .. why embassy sent case back to NVC ? and why they gonna review it all this time which means if he start all over again it will take less time !! .. and is this situation normal or it happened before ?

so what do you think guys ...

any help appreciate it

It may be that they are doing some of the security checks on the case. I have noted that recently a lot of cases have been going back for processing. It may be a money saving move, don't do some of the more "expensive" checks until the couple has passed the interview. A pain as far a reunification goes but saving money is what it is all about. If should be nothing to worry about, just a delay.
