NOA2 to NVC How Long?

[phewall 0]

First the Good News. NOA2 Approval on 5 Feb 08 for an application received by USCIS on 16 Aug 07.

Now the Bad News. Have not received any approval notice in the mail. What gives? I called the USCIS information line and was told that unless I had not received my approval notice after 30 DAYS to continue to wait. Currently its been 24 days... It takes a MONTH to send out an approval letter? I think people living in Darfur get better service from their immigration agency.... USCIS is truly a disgrace.

Anyway, I have to hope that my application is already at the NVC and getting ready to be sent to Moscow. Or am I being delusional? Hopefully the approval notice, is just a "lagging indicator" and all is well. Anybody got any words of comfort for me?

Thanks,

James

Call NVC at 603-334-0700. Give them your USCIS case number, and they'll be able to tell you if and when they received it. Make sure you get your NVC receipt number from them if they have it, which they almost certainly do. Very early in the morning or late at night are the best times to call.

Thanks very much. Will do. Like I said, hopefully the approval notice taking 24 days is really not that big of a deal. It just irks me how the USCIS thinks that sending out a simple approval letter within 30 days is "on time."
