hello! My fiancé & I received the approval notice-I-797, Notice of Action.(NOA2)

On the Notice of Action, it states the above petition has been approved, and forwarded to the listed consulate.

Please contact the consulate with any questions about visa issuance, or if you would now like them to forward the petition to a different consulate.

The petitioner can also file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, with this office to request that we notify another consulate of the petition approvalfor visa processing purposes. THIS FORM IS NOT A VISA AND MAY NOT BE USED IN PLACE OF A VISA.

THIS FORM IS NOT A VISA AND MAY NOT BE USED IN PLACE OF A VISA.

When the person this petition is for enters the U.S. based on this visa, he or she will be admitted for ninety (90) days in order to marry the petitioner, and based on that marriage file for adjustment to permanent resident statuson Form I-485. The form to apply for adjustment can be obtained at any local USCIS office or USCIS forms center.

Please attach a copy of this notice to the adjustment application when you file it.

If the petitioner and the fiance (e) do not marry within these 90 days, status will expire, and he or she will be in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act if he or she does not depart. An extension cannot be granted. It is requested that the petitioner inform his or her local USCIS office if he or she determines that the marriage will not take place within the 90 day period.

Please attach a copy of this notice to any correspondence about this case.

My question is this: Is it possible that USCIS in VT sent the approved petition directly to the Consulate in Bucharest, RO without having to be sent to the National Visa Center first??? We will call the USCIS & the NVC to find out. But has this ever happened to anybody else? Please advise. Thanks!

Yes, always. Petitions NEVER go straight from the service center to a Consulate, not even if a military expedite.
