Check your USCIS account and see if you had a touch after your approval date. Normally that indicates that it has been sent by the Service Center. Once you see that it is at the NVC, it just means that they haven't entered it in the system. I was approved on August 31st, had a touch on September 2nd and received the same response you did until it was entered into the NVC system on September 14th. Try giving them a call and see if it hasn't been entered yet. Good luck!

So ... we are in a similar situation where we were "touched" on the 17th of September, and approved on the 15th. But the 17th is a Sunday, so how could it have really gone out. Isn't that weird to be touched on a Sunday. Anyhow we haven't been touched since, so I really hope that means it left the CSC!!!

I was told to wait two weeks after my approval before contacting NVC. We held out for 11 days and then called and found out our petition was being sent to Montreal that day. It usually takes a bit for petitions to get to NVC, it isn't an instant thing.

Best wishes for all those waiting :)

Yeah... the only problem is that it really seems CSC has stopped sending cases to NVC for awhile. It was going kinda fast in August... but September it turning out to be a very slow month.

I wasn't touched at all after approval. Just one email/touch on Aug. 31 saying we were approved on the 30th and that was it. It is probably nothing, but I willworry until NVC finally gets the file.

08/30/06 - NOA2
