Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!

I'm frustrated with how slow this next step is going. We received our NOA2 approval from California (CSC) on December 3rd. and as of January 7th we are still waiting for it to arrive at the NVC. Anyone with a similar experience? At what point do we wonder if it's lost somewhere? I guess CSC is slow with these things compared to other service centers, but this is really delaying. grr.

Any ideas?

Ours took a month to reach the NVC. Once you factor in the Christmas and New Years holidays, you aren't too far off the month mark.

The have a new shipping system at the CSC now where they toss peoples files into a cargo bin. The bin doesn't get shipped out until it's full. So if you are tossed into a new bin, you have to wait a bit until your file gets sent out.

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Well here is the response my OH got from NVC so maybe it is just as well you can't get through

Jackass at NVC proceeded to have a small go at me for calling so early

and to give it at least 4 weeks. He asked me for the notice date and

then had a nice little 'That's way too early. You need to wait at least 4

weeks.' and then told me not to call back before January 15th, and

even then not to expect anything and that it could take up to 90 days. I

felt like I was talking to USCIS again for crying out loud - well,

except of course I wasn't trying to get anything more than 'we haven't got

it yet.'

And then again I'm particularly sensitive when it comes to people

getting cross at me over the phone:P Ah well. Why can't they add it to their

automated system - it's not like I'm looking for anything particularly

special, just 'Have you flipping got it yet?? Great, you got it! Have

you flipping sent it off yet??'

Owell.

Guess we're already in the same crate or whatever - good thread though to keep track as it means if one of us hears something then maybe we'll all get lucky...

From my horrifying experience with CSC, I URGE you to call them everyday! I finally had to call a supervisor after I had been told that our documents had gone to the NVC only to learn they had been sitting under someone's coffee cup as CSC for 1 MONTH!!!! When the supervisor got it it was DHL'd that day! My motto is "if it's to be, it's up to me" With what little control we have during this process----you have to take charge of it everyday, because no one else cares. Don't let them bully you by telling you that you are calling too much. It is your right to call as much as you want.
