Approved Petition not being sent to NVC

[vvvVein 7]

We received our NOA 2 on the 31st of October and yet the status hasn't been updated to say that is has been sent to the NVC and the NVC haven't received it yet. The NOA2 says it has been forwarded to the listed consulate yet it doesnt list one.

I have ring the NVC and customer service centre USCIS and the NVC dont have it on their system yet and the lady at the service centre seemed to to believe it has been sent. somewhere, though seh seemed to think it would go straight to the Embassy which doesnt seem right.

Anyone able to shed any light, advise or suggestions?

It goes first to NVC. It's been taking up to 8 weeks lately for that to happen. After that, it goes to the embassy.

K1 usually dont stay at NVC long they put your info in the system and forward it to your Embassy.

As the other posters said, your petition goes tot he NVC first, and is then sent to the embassy in London. It has to go from Texas - New Hampshire - London. FedEx can do this in 48 hours, USPS usually does it in 72 hours. Whatever courier our government uses does it in about 672 - 1344 hours.

I see people have posts where their case status is updated to reflect the package being sent and forwarded to the NVC what worries me is that our case status hasn't changed to show this. So im wondering if they havent sent it or not updated the status.

Surely if theyd sent it a week after approving it it would be ther within 2 weeks?

We received a letter on Saturday (16th Nov) to say that the NVC had received our petition on 8 November and have forwarded it to the Embassy in London. The USCIS website states that it is still with the Department of State so it looks like they are a little slow updating it. Once you have your notification from the NVC try tracking your application on https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=o/iS8zDpeAKjMWCuebHqOw==. I've found that this is a little more accurate.
