Is anyone in the similar situation?

We were approved NOA2 on Aug 19th, (california center), and today I called NVC and they STILL dont have our case.

are there others like us or should be prepare for errors and delays?? (i pray we havent been mistakenly sent to NRC instead of NVC like some people)

Mine was approved Aug 13, after somany calles to USCIS and NVC, finally when I called Sep 13 to NVC they told me they recived that day (Sept 13). So mine took exactly a month. Jonathan, I would think you need to call USCIS and talk to superviser or an officer who can tell you what is going on. Kiki, you might here from NVC this week if not keep on calling USCIS and ask where your file was sent and where. Good luck guys!

Thanks. We have been calling daily. My fiancee was told by a Tier 2 officer that the file was sent July 24 and still NVC say they don't have it. Thanks for the advice. I'll try calling USCIS now

Just called the USCIS to be told they can't discuss the case with me as I'm the beneficiary and not the petitioner. They don't make this easy do they?

average record of receipt at nvc is taking 5 weeks

when it is received it is viewed on their screens as received, but no case number

approximately a week later the case number is available

everything I sent to nvc was not logged as received in their system until 3-5 days after the actually got it

basically you are looking at 6 weeks average for case numbers these days

:(

sux big time

hey guys thanks so much for all this feedback, it's somewhat comforting to hear im not all alone in this :)

i did some research, and realized that according to timelines posted, from california service center (like mine), the ones that have only recently (friday) started getting information that their case has finally reached NVC, are those with NOA2 date of Aug 13th...so i guess i still have another week or so before i should really start getting worried.

still, it's quite annoying, considering i optimistically assumed (based on historical timelines) that NVC part is the shortest in this whole process and that it's almost 2-3 weeks from NOA2 to embassy itself...ugh times have changed i guess.

Right there with you. We were approved from CSC on July 10th 2013 and still nothing. Calling NVC and USCIS hasn't helped... as well as contacting congressman. We only got a response from emailing OLUInquiries <OLUInquiries@uscis.dhs.gov>. They replied in 1 day telling us our case was sent to NRC instead of NVC.

Department of State told us that we really shouldn't be waiting longer than a month, while others said 8 weeks, and USCIS tried to cover their asses and say 90 days.

After one month, we should have been on the case. Here it is 2 months and we have just now found out where the papers are.

Our NOA2 was August 23rd. It was only 45 days from NOA1 to NOA2, so we were feeling like this was really going to move right along, haa. Still waiting for the notice from NVC. Our NOA2 notice says to wait 30 days before inquiring, so we'll wait til the end of this week, then call. I'm glad I read these messages here! I was beginning to really stress out about the delay, but I see it's normal these days.
