I think it depends on the service center. It seems that a lot of people are saying that CSC is not sending the information to the NVC immediately instead they are holding them to send a bulk of them. My service center was VSC and I was approved on 7/5/2012 and they received it at the NVC on 7/9/2012. You can always call it doesn't hurt just checking up on things. Wishing you much luck in your visa journey. :)

If you're lucky, your petition will be sent to NVC right away and it will be in their system within 10 business days. However, if you're like me, it will sit in a mailroom for four weeks before being sent to NVC. I would give it more than a couple of days before calling, though. Their standard response will be to wait 10-15 business days.

USCIS Receipt of I-129F: January 24, 2012 | Petition Approval: June 15, 2012 (No RFEs)

Part Two: Entry and Adjusting Status:

POE: November 18, 2012 (at SFO) - Review
Wedding: December 1, 2012 | Social Security: New cards received on December 7, 2012.
AOS Package (I-485/I-765/I-131) NOA1: February 19, 2013 | Biometrics Appt.: March 18, 2013
AP/EAD Approved: April 29, 2013 | Card Received: May 6, 2013 | AOS Interview Appt.: May 16, 2013 - Approved Review Card Received: May 24, 2013

Part Three: Removal of Conditions:

i guess thats sad. 4 weeks at CSc after approval? then another two weeks at NVC? thats roughly 2 months after NOA2 to get to embassy. that takes me to september i guess.

You should be happy....I would love to have that timeline.....for IR-1/CR-1 I am looking at about 3 months from NOA2 to finish at NVC.
