It means it will be forwarded to the NVC. whether it actually has been shipped or not yet is a question you likely cant have answered. I got the letter and then 2 weeks later got an update from USCIS on my case that it had been shipped. I am still waiting for NVC number over 3 weeks now.

I was transffered from VSC to TSC though and it seems people like myself face a longer wait for some reason. others approved at VSC and CSC after I was have already been given their consulate numbers from the NVC.

It will be soon for you most likely. keep your head up =)

We were approved (noa2) on June 19. Still waiting for case number from NVC. I have heard of some people approved on June 18 getting their case numbers in the last day or two. So we are hopeful that ours will be issued very shortly. And yours should only be a few more days also. When you call the NVC they are now quoting 8 weeks, but they were quoting 10-15 business days a few weeks ago. The same old bureaucratic inefficiency... Good luck!
