Congrats Saleem. But... he should have said... give the mail carrier a few days for delivery.... then give NVC a month to enter it into the system. I've been waiting for over two weeks... still no NVC (AVR or operator).

Hello VJ family, I just got the following email from Mr. Badger:

Both cases were approved on 2/21 and were sent to the
NVC
on 2/25.

Please give the mail carrier a few days for delivery.

Hello everyone, been away for a few days. congrats to all new approvals. I had to send my wife back to australia as her 90 day travel visa is up. On sunday got two messages from USCIS botm my cases have been moved back to "Initial Review". USCIS is so lost, my cases were split with one getting approved and set to NVC while the other was given an RFE ( this is for my wifes underage son) now both cases are back to step one.....I have no idea what I can do I already know that the "Customer Service Center" is useless. Does anyone have a suggestion maybe someone I should email....

Sorry to hear of the disconnect with your cases. I think the movement back to Initial Review is a good thing as that seems to be what happens just before you get the NOA2 notice!

Have you tried the follow-up e-mail address the uscis provided for those yet to see a status update by today...?:

We encourage you to continue monitoring the progress of your case by accessing My Case Status online. If you do not see any action on your case, such as an approval, denial or an RFE, by March 1, 2011 you may contact USCIS at:

Rakmaster - clearly my status seems to mimic yours. Got approval on Feb 25, and back to Initial Review on Feb 28. Just now got a touch, but no change. Still awaiting hard copy of NOA-2 approval notice, but my approval was 2 days after yours, so it should be in the mail either tomorrow or Thursday. Let's hope so. Seems like we are on our way to NVC. My only concern is if indeed they processed our cases to NVC or are they now at TSC sitting somewhere? But, other have been touched, back to Initial Review, got their hard copy NOA-2s and are in the NVC with the case number. So, clearly again we should be on our way. Any flaws in my thinking process? Cheers and good luck everyone! Let's update each other if there are any news. That's so helpful to one another and provides courage and makes you know that you're not the only one!

That seems to be on target! I would anticipate 4 business days from time of your e-mail approval notice to allow for usps delivery of hard-copies. That would land it in your mailbox on Thursday,,,but could be sooner if mail delivery is going smoothly.

Definitely think we're well on our way to the NVC! :yes:
