I have attended the immigration interview at NYC in September/2001(medical: June/2001) and submitted the landing fee on the same day as per advice of my visa officer. It seemed to me that she was satisfied with my interview. However, due to not receiving my landing paper yet, I wrote a letter to the consulate asking them about the status. Yesterday I got a response from the consulate as follows:

"Further processing of your immigration application requires the following pending document and/or information to be submitted to the above listed office as soon as possible :

OTHER: Your file was forwarded to a Senior Immigration Officer for his review."

This letter totally confused me and I am now very much worried about fate of my LP. Could anybody of this forum please explain me what does this letter mean. Is it a routine process for everybody, or it has any negative implications? I have heard that the visa officer who take the interview is the major decisive person for granting a visa, so what is the role of a senior immigration officer in case of immigration processing? What factors he might consider while he reviews.

Moreover name of any specific pending document/informatin to be send by me was not mentioned in that letter, i.e. that space was blank. Does it mean that it is a pre-formatted letter which the consulate usually send while anybody ask about his visa processing status.
