So, does that just leave me waiting for my P3/P4 from Russia (NVC sent to Moscow on August 29).

 

Dear Mr. Keele:

 

Each case is treated individually, which is why some applicants may already have interview dates out of numerical order. Please rest assured that Ms.xxxxxx's application is not lost in the shuffle, it's undergoing additional administrative processing.

 

Due to the complexity of the procedure and the volume of cases, it is not possible to predict when this particular case will be completed. Please contact us again in two weeks. Thank you.

 

This is actually the longest letter they sent to me, and the first one that suggested a future contact date.

 

I just wish I had some idea of what "Administrative Processing" meant???

 

Best wishes to all of you who have received the P3 packet, as well as those who are still waiting.

Robhon -

 

Been a busy couple days, and just saw this post.

 

Called the consulate about, let's see, a hundred times 2 days ago. Finally reached a human about 3 minutes before the 2-hour window expired. Turns out our information is in their computer. So we actually exist! He said our P3 was sent on Nov. 25.

 

So now we're busy getting ready to fill out all the forms.

I know it stinks to be waiting for an unknown time duration. Though the positive thing here is that they have assured you that the file is not lost, so you know that there *will* be a completion date eventually. If it were lost, there would be no end date...

 

Looking for things to be thankful for on this day...

Ok, I was looking at the times from the assignment of the MOS number to the interview for petitions at the Russian Embassy.

 

First Column, Days from MOS Number (generally assigned at NVC) to Interview Date. The second column is the number of interviews scheduled between November 25 2003 and Jan 27 2004.

 

As far as my application:

. . . . MOS Date from NVC: July 29 (120 days ago)

. . . . Application Sent to Moscow: August 29 (90 days ago)

 

I would assume that the earliest possible interview would be 30-60 days from now which would put me between 150 and 180 days from when the MOS number was assigned.

Some of the timelines are very long (and some very short). However, it is not clear what the visa types are for those).

Clifford,

 

Here's hoping that you are at the top of the list! "CLINK"
