Any ideas, anyone?
File sent back from NVC to INS during Review
Hi All:
I am a newcomer to this discussion forum, and only recently stumbled onto this. Anyways, I'll begin by giving some case background(This post is gonna be a little long, so please bear w/ me):-
1. I-140 approved for I-485 in April 2000. Blissfully unaware of CP until May 2001.
2. Filed for I-824 in June 2001 and got receipt straightaway. Filed AC-I140 unsuccessfully in Madras(home consular post), CDJ(TCN) and Mumbai. All this was being attempted while I-824 was pending for over 8 months.
3. Final straw(at that time) was when my AC-I140 packet to Mumbai got stuck at the anthrax decontamination facility in Washington DC for over 3 months in 2002 (I came to know that when I eventually got my packet back in April 2002).
4. After waiting for 8 months for the I-824/CP route to work, I gave up and filed for I-485 at NSC in Feb. 2002. Got my EAD/AP/fingerprinting completed in exactly 30 days.
5. Out of the blue in April 2002, I get my I-824 approval notice, and sure enough, get choice-of-agent/packet 3 in early may 2002.
Here's where my current situation unfolded:-
6. First sent choice-of-agent back to NVC(myself).
7. Received packet-3 in early may 2002. Filled it, and sent it back to St. Louis on the enclosed envelope around 15th May 2002.
8. Called NVC around 10th June 2002. Confirmed that they received my packet-3/payment from STL on June 4, 2002.
9. Called them again on June 20th. Heard operator say "Still in review.....call back after 6/8 weeks".
**************************************************
10. Called again this morning, automated message said "We have received notice of your intent to adjust status and will hold your file until INS requests your file to be sent to them".
**************************************************
Finally, I spoke to an NVC operator, who said that their records on my case showed that INS requested my file back and that they have sent it to the INS NSC-District Office in Omaha, NE(My I485 was filed at the Service Center, not District Office) on June 20, 2002.
Can anyone tell me what could be happening? Sorry, if this scares anyone w/ my kind of profile, but I thought that this piece of info. can only be helpful.....
Thanks!
