So the Amman consulate has an electronic visa process - so thats a not an issue. If your case has already arrived at the consulate then they review it and either call directly and tell you what documents to bring and schedule your interview or send a letter to the address listed in the documents that you have sent in with an interview date and a list of additional documents to bring to the consulate. This part of the process can take between one week to a month.

As for the age gap between you and your spouse that could raise a red flag. It will be important to express if asked why you decided to marry someone so much older reasons that are honest and that the consular officer will believe. Quite honestly everything is in the hands of the CO that interviews you and if they believe the relationship to not be real or they think you are committing visa fraud then they can deny the visa or put you in AP - adminstrative processing.

InshaAllah everything will be fine.

We Applied in April/May 2015 w/USCIS, first for CR1, then for K3 (Spouse). The CR1 was approved in August, the K3 in September.



The Ds-260 was submitted to NVC in October 2015, the AOS Submitted November (25th).



After the initial 42 days, the case was submitted to a supervisor. That was on January 5th, 2016.


It was submitted again to a supervisor (2nd time) on 02/05/2016 - with a note saying this is the 2nd time it was submitted.



...over our many calls to the NVC, we have heard so many different things...



~Almost ever time "we don't know what's going on with your case for sure, just wait"


~We have heard it was held up because it was going to Amman, which does electronic processing, so that takes longer to convert the files/mail to the electronic system.


~I have heard that that converting files = more time was just "speculation" on one of the rep's part.


~I have also heard, the files are already electronic, because I sent them in via email as an attachment (DS-260 online).


~I have heard (by a man who was sooo rude and didn't let me ask any questions!!) that they didn't receive our AOS - so I have to submit that... although there was mail received on 11/25/2015. (I later clarified with a different rep, that if that's what I sent on the 25th, then that's what's waiting to be reviewed.


~My latest talk with the NVC came up with a new one... they could see that the Approved CR1 Petition and Approved K3 spouse petitions were "merged" by additional "administrative processing, to ensure no papers submitted were lost, as a possible reason as to why it's taken longer than normal. (but CR1 is in effect - K3 is "dead")


~The same rep was the one that re-submitted the AOS to the Supervisor a 2nd time w/the note.


~As of this day, I have been waiting one week and one day for a supervisor call back...none yet. I was ensured I'm still going to get the supervisor call back - but "there's no time frame" .



~~~~~is any of this the same with anyone else?



has anyone ever had any of these things happen?
