Sorry that's a horrible typo! 30-60 days

Yes, although 30-60 is still to many days, it is much better than 30-160. Thanks for clarifying.

Hang in there and a very Merry Christmast to you too.

Quick update: I-130 approved by TSC on 23 Nov. Still no NVC case #. Sent email to nvcresearch@state.gov last Wed. Getting a bit frustrated as today it has been one month since my petition was approved. I called USCIS yesterday and talked to a tier 2 human. He took all my info, and said he would send an email to the adjudicator who handled my case, and that I should hear something from USCIS by Jan 6. Then I contacted NVC.......still no case #. The lady I talked to said that I should scan my I-797C

Approval Notice to them. I already did this last Wednesday at my 15 "business day" mark. She did say that my petition should have already arrived at NVC. She said anything beyond 3 weeks is not normal. Still waiting!!!!!! SO, you guys that have not yet received your NOA2 from TSC, don't feel too bad. Even though I got mine, I am stuck in limbo somewhere between TEXAS and NEW HAMPSHIRE!!! We got HOSED when our cases were transferred from CSC to TSC. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

11/30/2010 Received hard copy of NOA2

As with DanTes we were alao approved on Nov 23rd I have called NVC and USCIS and recieved the same answers as he did can't understand that USCIS has sent our case to NVC a month ago but NVC says they haven't recieved it yet. So where our our cases????? USCIS says not in their office and NVC says not in theirs. Its very frustrating to get approved and then be in limbo again with no idea as to when if ever we will get a case #. Whats really sad is one of my wife's friends on visa journey was approved on Nov. 26th and recieved her case # from NVC on Dec. 3rd. So does anyone know what we should do when both NVC and USCIS deny having your case? Well Im done venting everyone have a great Christmas

I'm starting to seriously think about refiling. Are new cases still being sent to CSC?

You need to do a USCIS inquiry to why you havent had

your case done yet, by contacting the USCIS or the

office handling your case, CSC, TSC which ever

Service Center handling yur case.

Good Luck

Happy Holidays

Well if I was DanTes and tomjoyce and I had a copy of everything I filed originally, I would ship that to the Chicago Lockbox along with a copy of your NOA1, transfer notice, and NOA2 and a cover letter detailing all the communications between you and USCIS. That way they have everything they need to resend to NVC immediately. Rather than sitting around waiting for them to find it, or finally realize that they lost it, just give it to them again. It could be that they are batching them and you guys are just the first to get NOA2 but they haven't bothered to send on to NVC because they expect to approve the rest of us soon. But the fact that nobody has been touched in 20 days or so makes me kind of doubt that.

GREAT IDEA!! But instead of mailing the package, think I'm gonna drive to Texas, wait for the stamp of approval (again), and hand deliver it to New Hampshire!! (then file a claim for gasoline and food). What do you think Tom?? Let's start a CONVOY!! (not really......before someone on VJ thinks I'm serious). I will wait til after the first of the year, then I will start knocking on my Senator's door (Harry Reid). Might even send an email to the White House. After all, I think immigration reform needs to start with US!!!

Hi guys - Update on me is that I'm in the same boat as the others from TSC who have been approved. NOA2 of Dec 9 and still waiting for NVC to assign me a case number. I'm not confident that TSC even sent my approved file to NVC. Lord knows where that thing is right now. So again...waiting, calling, trying not to be mad as hell. TSC is a joke.

You're about the third person to have this happen to- has anyone that has been approved from TSC received an NVC case #? That's what I'm wondering..

Oh, and I was on the USCIS site and they updated their nat'l processing volumes for Oct and it says that for TSC they have 46 I130s pending.

I call bull***t.
