Why the delay of visa issue will happen - from Buffalo.
I read this to quote at : http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=332163&pp=15
It does make sense. Read yourself and make up your mind.
======================================
Seems you are new here and brief history lesson may be in order.
Those are cases filed prior to 2002 and new law implemented in 2002 made them retroactively subject to new selection criteria. Some of those 130,000 applicants would not qualify under new rules, although not all. But quite few lawyers "smelled blood" (read big money) and filed a class action lawsuit, collecting thousands of $$$ from naive clients mainly in India to have them inclued in the lawsuit, while once it was classified as class action lawsuit all affected were automatically included, unless decided to not participate. Those lawyers made jackpot of lifetime. Federal judge in early 2003 froze processing of all pending pre-2002 applications (except for those who opted-out from lawsuit) until matter is resolved. So, all newer cases started enjoying shorter processing times as a result. Now after settlement has been approved all frozen previously cases are coming back to processing. And will take processing resources as well as visa quotas for few years to come.
Most of those cases didn´t have problems, they were not finalized because court order froze their processing for over 2 years.
