I-797C Notice of Action from USCIS

[CP & AP 0]

We have received our very 1st letter I-797C Notice of Action from USCIS on 20th of March 2012. We have been checking on the status online but it still reflect intital review status. How long does it normally take before our intital review status change to decision status?

It usually takes 4-6 months between NOA1 (petition received -> initial review) and NOA2 (petition approved -> post-decision activity).

Unfortunately this will be a long and frustrating wait of about 5 months before you get another update.

There is a 2 month delay at the CSC, that's reason your file was sent to the VSC, you still have at least another 4 months of waiting.

I thought the separation of a packet being sent to CSC or VSC was based on the state that the petitioner lives in? Someone told me that once. People are still being sent to CSC even though it's commonly known as the slower service center.
