See, you told us you are from TSC. Now you are officially from CSC. I think NSC and TSC do not process I-130 applications. It is CSC and VSC job. I'll update your timeline tomorrow. Congrats for your NOA1! Now your PO Box problem solved, huh?

Filed: IR-5 Country: India
Timeline

Hello, I'm just joining the July 2010 filers club!

I too want to know what I should be doing in the meantime while waiting for NOA2?

Skynaut is correct.

USCIS will not correspond until NOA2 other than any RFE or local office case transfer etc. NOA1 to NOA2 timeline is about 4 to 6 months.

However, it is a good idea to collect all required documents of both the beneficiary and the petitioner that need to be submitted to NVC other than Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) and Employment Letter. Though PCC has 1 year validity generally, some posts will consider only 6 months and I saw another only 3 months.

For the detailed list of documents and the process from I-130 filing until Consulate interview, check out the page here: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_bring_your_foreign_spouse_to_live_in_the_US

I have updated the timeline of sandipdesai and cad_bacon and attached here.
