Hi all, My Fiancee called VSC to check on the I 129 F petition, as it's been 41 days
since 1st NOA. the Immigration officer told her, even before asking her the case
number, that they got mandated to do more extensive background checks like a couple
weeks ago so it's taking 30 days longer. then she asked her about the case number,
and replied to my Fiancee that everything seems normal.

INS are now screening every applicant through IBIS and other databases to weed out
undesirables - this is the same reason they have mandated the use of middle names
even where the form only says middle initials. Of course, if INS had a proper IT
infrastructure this could be done automatically at data entry and there wouldn't be
any extra delays ... that, unfortunately, is many years away I fear!
