California to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

[jennie ann 15]

I just received my hard copy NOA2. It says the following:

"The above petition has been approved. We have sent the original visa petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC), 32 Rochester Avenue, Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909. NVC processes all approved immigrant visa petitions that need consular action. It also determines which consular post is the appropriate consulate to complete visa processing. NVC will then forward the approved petition to that consulate.

"The NVC will contact the person for whom you are petitioning (beneficiary) concerning further immigrant visa processing steps.

"If you have any questions about visa issuance, please contact the NVC directly. However, please allow at least 90 days before calling the NVC if your beneficiary has not received correspondence from the NVC. The telephone number of the NVC is (603) 334-0700.

"The approval of this visa petition does not in itself grant any immigration status and does not guarantee that the alien beneficiary will subsequently be found to be eligible for a visa, for admission to the United States, or for an extension, change, or adjustment of status.

"THIS FORM IS NOT A VISA NOR MAY IT BE USED IN PLACE OF A VISA."

No case number as of today. I've been calling the AVR daily and spoke to a live operator today, and they gave me the "15 business days" line. I'm not worried yet, but from the spreadsheet, it seems that no one who was transferred back to CSC and was approved last week has made it to NVC yet.

Hey gang, WOW this has clearly metamorphosed into an NVC thread.

As for me, I'm still in limbo. I was emailed by Mr. Badger this evening with the following:

Your I-130 is currently pending in the California Service Center.

I have notified the computer system to send you a notice.
