Neel, you're our fearless leader. Keep us up to date and let us know what to expect. We March filers obviously can't look at the VJ "average" timelines and expect our process to be completed accordingly. Since you're at the head of the pack for those of us that CSC decided to screw over, we're counting on you for your valuable information!

from my experience i have found out that the time it takes the petition to reach nvc has a lot to do with your case worker. for example... even though my petition was approved on july 31st...it did not make it to the mail room until august 24th. after it reaches the mail room..... then it is usually shipped within a week.

i just continued calling nvc....but it was not in their hands. so i honestly feel that if your case doesn't reach nvc within 2 weeks.....call uscis using the RFE trick.... and I called them on 24th and got a touch and my file made it on the 29th. maybe i am wrong but i feel that my call brought it to their attention that my file needs to be shipped...... so just give it try..no harm in it.

The problem is, if you call back and talk to someone else, chances are you will get a completely different answer. I wish they would let me come out there and personally pick up all our forms...I'd deliver them in 1 day! There's really no excuse for this sort of thing. They are either trying to save a buck or they really are trying to make this process as miserable as they can for some reason.

Wife's visa journey:

03/19/07: Initial mailing of I-129F.

07/07/11: U.S. Citizenship approved and Oath Ceremony!

MIL's visa journey:

07/26/11: Initial mailing of I-130.

05/22/12: Interview passed!

By the way, I think this thread probably gives an idea what to expect on the transfer times:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...3625&st=300

From this it appears that lately, many people wait 4 weeks or more.
