That is indeed correct - if you've waited a month or so give it a shot...don't want to encourage spamming her inbox by any means, but I'm convinced she helped get ours moved. And for no reason at all, she just e-mailed yesterday wishing us luck in our marriage. Seems like a very nice lady.

We called DOS today (first time calling ever after getting our noa2) we basically knew that there's no chance they have our file yet but we still wanted to try.

Of course they didn't have anything, it's been exactly 2 weeks since we been approved. But here comes the interesting part, the lady was super nice and said to allow it 3 weeks from approval.. Not 8? Are they all giving out different information? I'm confused.

Did you call the DoS number, not the NVC? When I called DoS they told me to wait 2-3 weeks too. It's the NVC that gives out the 8 week line. DoS people actually have a clue and don't just read lines off a script. It never takes 8 weeks unless something is wrong or they lose your case somehow or send it to the wrong place. 3 weeks is a much better timeline.

Yea we called DOS right away since so many people stated its a much shorter waiting time, well we will hit the 3 weeks mark this coming Friday and we didn't get a shipping notice yet so we will wait and see.

Not sure what will happen when we call Friday and tell them we waited the 3 weeks they told us to wait. Probably a whole lot of.. NOTHING

Yeah, if you didn't get a shipping notice, then it's highly unlikely that they will have it. TSC seems to be pretty good with the notices (but pretty bad with shipping in a decent amount of time). You were transferred to TSC, right?

Yes transferred June 21st and approved August 2nd. Is there anything you can do to speed the process up? We thought after the noa2 this crazy waiting game would be finally over.. How hard can it be to get these petitions in the mail?! Uuugh

Not that I know of. You just have to wait until they actually do ship it out. If it'll take longer than normal at TSC (more than a month or so) you should contact senator/congressman and then maybe they'll ship it out quicker. Otherwise I wouldn't bother if it's only 2 weeks, they'll probably ship it out soon. The good news is that at least the NVC does everything very quickly and the turnaround of your application there should be less than 3 days.

I did a lot of research of timelines for TSC and the vast majority were shipped right around the 3 week mark. A few were shorter and a few were longer. We had NOA2 of July 25th and on Thursday August August 15th we were notified that our packet was sent to NVC the day before on August 14th. So for us the 3 week numbers played out almost perfectly. I also noticed they seem to ship once a week to NVC. Usually on Wednesday or Thursday. I would recommend waiting the 3 weeks then start making calls to USCIS in Texas. It is frustrating but just find the half full glass...you could still be sitting at VSC like some people seem to be. Best of luck and a word of advice, use this time to get everything you need for the interview process. It will keep you busy at least.

Thanks for the advice!! But our packet 3 papers been ready for about 2 months now looool the petitioner documents are on it's way also so I can't do anything but wait!!!

I won't complain tho. I wanna be there in November and I think that's still manageable :) it sure does annoy me tho

Good luck to everybody waiting to get to NVC! This week will be a good week! I'm sure!

I hope, because if it continues, will make it to my interview in December or January, I cry every day because not expect to have to wait 2 months at NVC and then another 2 months for the interview!


I saw a table, just click here I do not know, there are a lot of people with 50, 60 days of waiting, am terrified of this happening to me, because if it happens, will my interview for December or January :(
