LiandLarry Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 The supervisor at NVC stated that the unit manager (above her) had sent an inquiry to the name check departments in Washington D.C. on November 4th. They have not heard back from the name check agencies yet. I am to call back the supervisor directly mid next week. I only WISH our case could get to GUZ at this point since they are working much faster there. Both SO and I are very depressed just waiting with no results! Thanks for listening. Link to comment

Thanks for listening.167513[/snapback]Wow, I can't imagine being stuck in NVC for a year!!! That's a crime!! I'm there now and don't think I could make it waiting a year with no word about why. All the best of luck getting to the bottom of your case and moving it on to GUZ!!! I really feel for you and your SO's frustrations!! Hang in there and don't back off till you get an answer.

Guest ShaQuaNew Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Yes, indeed I do understand. While the process moves quickly for some there remain MANY that get overlooked. Please, everyone remember that we all need you to help us from letting this sort of thing from happening.... Link to comment
jim_julian Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Larry ... it's great that somehow you have made it through to a supervisor. It's probably not something we should use routinely but for those stuck in NVC for too many months maybe you could share this route by PM. I sure hope that you bust loose soon ! Link to comment

philb Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Larry: My sympathies. After 9 months my case mysteriously broke loose from NVC name check hell. I cannot tell you what will help. I called weekly and finally sent a letter to Maura Harty. 6 days after I sent the letter, I found out through calling that my K-1 was being sent to GuanngZhou. I do not think that the letter had anything to do with it. I do know that your SO will go through an agonizing period. NO; you did not do anything wrong; NO; you did not incorrectly fill out the paperwork; NO there is not something that would raise a red flag. NO; writing or calling President Bush will not expedite anything. I know this hurts; but patience and endurance is all I can offer. I wonder if they sometimes think that this will discourage the relationship. When I hit GuangZhou I can only show continuity for 2 years waiting on the process. WHO WILL GIVE US BACK THE TIME?

Phil167563[/snapback]Phil/Larry, We are about to enter into this step and your stories are very very frightening! I feel like we're on the edge of a great abyss. Phil, you say that Nothing can be done? No inquiries? No status? No contacts? No updates of any kind? I'm not doubting you for a moment, I'm just interested in learning what you tried.

LiandLarry Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 It seems from the timelines I have read that 6-8 weeks seems to be normal for most. I wouldn't stress over NVC at this point...........just enjoy your trip to China right now! I hope my observation was correct. Link to comment

philb Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Bob: I think my case was an exception; not the rule. However, it did not shorten my anguish. I received a GUZ# and then called every week. I was told that my application had been selected for "secondary background check" and sent "to Washington". There was no timeframe offered; no description of what was happening. I was told to wait. Most people here seem to glide through. Many that applied at the same time that I did now are united in America. What was it? Ruby and the Romantics? "Our day will come". Phil Link to comment
Yuanyang Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yes, it was Ruby and the Romantics Our day will comeAnd we'll have everything.We'll share the joyFalling in love can bring. No one can tell meThat I'm too young to know (young to know)I love you so (love you so)And you love me. Our day will comeIf we just wait a while.No tears for us -Think love and wear a smile. Our dreams have magicBecause we'll always stayIn love this wayOur day will come.(Our day will come; our day will come.) Our dreams have magicBecause we'll always stayIn love this way.Our day will come.Our day will come Link to comment
cosmiclobster Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 This is just another example of how unbelievably inept our govt is.If there really was a problem with a potential petitioner or beneficiary and it takes them a year to determine if the threat is real, what does that say about the security of our country???? I can't even think about it - I'll get too pissed off!!!! Link to comment
