I need help with my situation!

Did you call the CIS to see what they say? Maybe you should check with them about filing an I-824?

Our I-129 F was approved on Oct 3 and I-130 on Nov 14/16. The NOA2 included the standard message of how it will fwd the I-130 to the NVC for processing.

I called the NVC today.

The automated system as well as the operator could find no record of the petition. I asked if it was possible that USCIS sent the NOA, stating it would forward the petition to them, erroneously. She said " if the NOA says it'll be forwarded then it should be forwarded", although she didn't deny an error was possible. She couldn't address the new policy of retaining approved petitons at the USCIS as it is a USCIS policy and not theirs.Pretty much she said , keep calling and checking to see if we got it..........guess that's what I'll do

No , I didn't call the USCIS. My call to the NVC was more an information seeking call than a call of real concern.I highly doubt making another call , this time to the USCIS, would provide any further benefit. As far as filing an I-824.....well, its really not that important to us to have our I-130 processed. In as much as it would be nice for my husband to have a green card immediately upon entry, in all honesty, it isnt worth giving the govt another 200 bucks for it. We have an approved I-129F and will proceed with the K-3 and adjust status here.If the I-130 does what its supposed to and makes it to the consulate then its a bonus and we will follow that path when we come to it. Initially I was all in a panic about it but once I had the chance to give it some rational thought I came to that realization.
