Hi,

I received my NOA2 on August 15 and got told by NVC that they received the petition yesterday and that it now will go through "additional processing".
Does anyone know what that means? Is it outside of the regular processing?

Thank you!

no i think its the normal processing

They randomly select people for more security check. This could take few more weeks till they complete more checks on either the petitioner or the applicant. There are other criteria s (such as specific names, locations, etc) which could also trigger additional processing.
