nooneufo Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 From my favorite reading list, here is another point I came across, which got me all outraged again at Guangzhou , so I decided to burn some of it off by compiling the total times for everyone who gave them into one list so you can see, how long others have had to wait this past year, from their NOA1 to their Interview. 9 FAM 41.81 PN3.1 Timely Visa Issuance (TL:VISA-501; 12-03-2002) a. The interview with the consular officer is the most significant part of the visa issuing process. It is particularly important from the point of view of full and correct application of the law. Section 237 of Public Law 106-113 requires that the Department establish a policy under which fiancé(e) visas be processed within 30 days of receipt of the necessary information from the applicant and the INS. The Department expects all posts to strive to meet the 30/60 day requirements. b. Since the underlying purpose of the LIFE Act is to reunite families, it is important that posts process these cases as quickly as possible. Posts should first process IV cases that are current for processing and for which visa numbers are available. The second priority should be V-1 and K-3 applicants and their children. The first number is the total number of days from NOA1 to their Interview.The second number is the total number of days from their Packet 3 to Interview. 211 159 Bruce & Ying219 133 Jkobman223 190 Beijingjenny233 167 Johns245 168 Jeikun251 181 NYViking255 189 AnimatorMark256 165 Razbre268 159 cliff274 184 John & Hai Yan277 143 nooneufo300 179 Drew21302 134 C4Racer302 163 bandj310 184 Yave20B315 168 Johnjez325 145 Markd330 155 vibes1313332 169 someonesbrother336 161 Msmckee344 67 warpbored344 183 Mike_M350 165 Wolffjw351 163 James & Veronica351 134 da64354 185 animejpop357 175 Martyb359 177 Mark and Leigh361 156 Dogfish364 157 Quoging364 134 Mike Xiao367 191 Bald_Guy368 191 Johnxiaoming369 154 Phil & Ninqninq371 184 Yvonne & Stan377 168 Cosmiclobster383 148 ChuckandShuping389 179 turtle392 155 peterscat/Icebreaker403 166 olemanoman1950404 168 Jim-Portland,USA409 195 Ahhming888415 162 Konajim420 171 Elcajonger431 147 perryf440 160 Xian 47462 168 dmaddox74471 179 Owhite 47504 190 Mufasa528 143 Cqhk542 148 boba557 177 sting88 Link to comment

frank1538 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Section 237 of Public Law 106-113 requires that the Department establish a policy under which fiancé(e) visas be processed within 30 days of receipt of the necessary information from the applicant and the INS. The Department expects all posts to strive to meet the 30/60 day requirements. Just a quick addendum to this. This section of the law has been discussed before, and it's important to note that the 30/60 day clock does not begin to run on fiance(e) visas until the consulate is in receipt of all of the information from the applicant. Usually, the last piece of information is provided at the time of the interview. The length of time leading up to the interview is not really covered by this section. Link to comment

The length of time leading up to the interview is not really covered by this section.So does this mean that when there is a glitch at the time of interview that they must resolve it within 60 days not 6 months? Or does it mean that indefinite time can be expected until they have determined what additional information they need and we have responded and finally the up to 60 days begins? Link to comment
