Never thought I would finally get an NVC operator to tell me the case is in the building!!! Woohoo!! You can see in my signature that it has taken us more than 2 months from approval to get here because the idiots at USCIS sent my file to the National Records Center. If it weren't for help from my congressman's office I'm sure I'd still be waiting! Hoping this goes smoother....

Thanks! It just goes to show you how much of this is out of our control. My situation is very rare though - somebody really fell down on the job!
