My case was approved (NOA2) on Sept 30,2013. I received a text update on 10/2/13 that it has been shipped to the dept of State. Texas was doing mine.

Yes, this seems to be what I'm hearing from a number of people. Although the Vermont -> Texas transfer has been a painful delay for many, TSC seems to be a model of efficiency and customer service that CSC could take a lesson from - especially when it comes to notifications and post-NOA2 action. Thanks for the info, and good luck!

Unfortunately, as you have seen, there's no rhyme or reason as to when and how USCIS sends the packet to NVC.. You are correct that the physical mail takes a few days, but the unknown is when they actually mail it.

In our case, they decided to accidentally send ours to our local USCIS instead of NVC while notifying us that it was going to NVC. Took 3 months to clear up. They are not the sharpest tacks in the box.

Wow, it sounds like you had it especially rough - nightmare scenario. I hope that kind of experience is the exception to the rule - the wait is rough enough when things go according to plan! Thanks for the feedback and congrats on finally getting though it all.

Wonder how did you know that it was mailed in your local uscis. How were you able to track it. Ty.

It will go to NVC, OURS NOA2 August 19,2013 , NVC got our case October 3, 2013 and they issued us new case number.

I called DoS yesterday. They say that our file was shipped to NVC on the 29th Aug (It is more or less the same msg that we could see on USCIS case status).

NVC keep saying the same 8 weeks ####### all the time..

Looking at some updates here, my guess is we would get our case number sometime 10th -15 Oct!

Oh God, when will this wait be over

Call DOS! Nvc got my case monday and said no case number assigned. I called DOS and they gave me my case number and was very nice.

Wow, that's a blow to stomach! I mean, I'm happy for you that you're finally at NVC, but its discouraging to see people reporting 6+ weeks from CSC to NVC. What could possibly be taking the CSC so long to forward cases to NVC? TSC folks are reporting a week or two from TSC -> NVC.

Well thanks everyone for the input on this. It looks like the new norm for CSC -> NVC is about 6 weeks, and nobody seems to have any explanation about what takes so long for this step or why it takes so much longer for CSC than TSC, but the statistics are pretty clear:

I would suggest emailing csc directly. The reason why is because i emailed tsc a week before my approval. I didnr get a response email, but my case was approved a week later. After that, another vj member and friend emailed tsc also and hers was approved a week later as well and she had filed before me. Maybe if you bombard them with emails they will get tired of hearing from you and ship your case out.

I am from tsc and havent received any notification that tsc sent pur case to nvx, care to share the email address so i can send an email too.. thanks and congrats
