Guest Yan Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Another form letter from CA........ Dear Ms. xxxx: Assistant Secretary Maura Harty has asked us to respond to your e-mail ofMarch 13 requesting information about the immigrant visa application of xxxxx. Let me assure you that we fully understand that delays in visaissuance are seriously complicating the lives of applicants and of those whoare waiting for their arrival. Your sister's case is currently pending completion of requiredsecurity-related vetting through an interagency clearance process. Changesto this process made in July 2002, together with communications problems,computer issues, and vastly increased work volumes, have had the effect ofdelaying many clearances. We are working with the relevant agencies to complete all clearancerequests. We are also working with technical experts here in Washington inan attempt to find new ways to expedite the clearance process. The Department of State, in its visa processes, will continue to carry outscrupulously all legal and procedural requirements for the protection of thesecurity of the United States. When Ms. xxxxx clearance process isconcluded, the Consulate will notify her. I hope and trust that the outcomewill not be delayed much longer. We hope this information is helpful. Sincerely, Karla GentileActing ChiefPublic Inquiries DivisionVisa Services Link to comment

AZwolfman Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 But DO make note of these form letters in your time line chart that you will use as you discuss your case with various officers. Link to comment
rfsun Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 Is there any verification to how long the on hold process will take? The rumor from 001 is many months but none of our letters include any reference to this. Is there any real evidence? Link to comment
AZwolfman Posted March 15, 2003 Report Share Posted March 15, 2003 We need to find out more information on this "hold" thing. Link to comment
