Do exactly what they ask. You say they need more about her profession. See the news lately Chemicals and a person who works with them well maybe they are wanting to know exactly what is it she did where what. Always with a 221G do what you are instructed to do. Why would she quit so early maybe they are suspicious she should explain that also.

Thanks so much for your reply!

Any idea on how long this administrative processing could take? We sent the required information as they asked via email today.

Thanks

Dear All,

My wife (Indian National applying for CR1 visa) had her visa interview yesterday at the Mumbai US consulate. She is a chemical engineer. She was not asked any questions about our relationship, but all of the questions focused on her profession. She has actually quit her job two months ago, in anticipation of joining me in the US. She was handed a 221g form at the end of her interview, and told that she needed to provide more information about her profession.

I was hoping that anyone on the forum who has dealt with a similar situation would be able to advise us as to what this means, how to proceed forward, and how long the delay in processing is.

Thanks

Dear All,

I wanted to give an update regarding my case. My case has finally been sent to the NVC.

I was told that the issue was that I had submitted an application for a K3 visa, once my I130 had begun processing, as per normal procedures noted by the USCIS. My I 130 was approved in March, but the field office where my arrive center had sent my application waited to send my I130 until the I129F was also approved, which caused the unnecessary delay. I think that the field offices may not be up to date regarding the proper processing procedure.

I how this information helps. In short, make sure you use all channels possible to get an answer you are satisfied with.

Thanks,

Dear Visa Journey members,

I just wanted to let you all know about a problem with USCIS that I recently encountered.

My NOA 2 was approved on March 25. I waited the 15 business days and after not hearing anything from the NVC, I sent an email to the NVC research department - they emailed me back saying that they sent an inquiry to the USCIS. I finally decided to call the USCIS myself today, and was appalled to find that my file still had not been sent to the NVC. The representative put in an expedited service request today.

That just because you recieve the NOA 2 it doesn't mean that the file has actually been physically sent. The only way to make sure is to keep calling them incessantly. I hope no one else has to go through the frustration I went through.

Regards,

Thanks so much for all the replies! Just got NOA1 via text/email.

Questions -

1. Can I print out the email from the USCIS and apply for a K3?

2. My file was routed to the NBC - is it really faster than the other servicing centers?

Thanks,

Dear December filers,

I submitted the I-130 on Friday Dec. 23rd and it was recieved on December 26th at 8.00 AM. I know I still have time to go...but does anyone know whether the USCIS works over this holiday time? I assume that Christmas and New Years Day are holidays, but what about other days?

Thanks
