Process time

[NaudyDanny 0]

Im going to go out on a limb here and i hope not to offend anyone...

After reading up on several cases and reading up on USCIS, NVC, and Embassy procedures i tend to think that not only is "luck" an issue on processing times but so is the Petitioners and Beneficiaries background. It seems that there are a lot of cases where there are some "questionable" issues in association with the petitions. Also, depending on wheather or not the petitioner is a US citizen or a permanent resident doing the petition affects the time to process. Therefore, i belive that when the USCIS begings its background checks...anything that looks "unusual" will delay the process. Justifyably or not...especially if one tries to hide something. Of course i havent even mentioned the part where forms are not filled correctly, items not submitted properly...ect. which are under the control of the petitioner.

Im open to positive and negative responses.

Is there anyone out there who can add some truth to my thoughts or is this just illogical thinking?

My understanding is that at USCIS level, the focus is more on the petitioner and that when it moves on to NVC and Embassy, the focus switches more to the beneficiary. Someone please feel free to correct me?

I guess that anything unusual or suspicious, in either the petitioner's or beneficiary's background, would cause them to look a little deeper, but that's true of any process I think?

Some people wait only a couple of months for approval at USCIS stage and others take a few more months. I tend to think that relates more to the workload of the individual service centres, rather than anything too untoward - that's just my tuppence worth!

Does a person's credit history produce a hit too? Does that matter?

I don't think it matters about a person's credit score in regards to the process, I could be wrong though.

I think as long as the evidence is there to suggest that the beneficiary won't become a public charge, that's as far as they dig into finances. I have seen many posts with people having had a bankruptcy - they didn't have a problem.
