CSC is the fastest service center so probably 2-4 weeks? Ish.

My cases (I-130s and I-129) were transferred from MSC to CSC in Laguna Nigel, California on 25 NOV 2013. Both were approved on 6 JAN 2014 and have been sent to NVC for processing and forwarding to the appropriate consulate. Filed I-130 late SEP 2013 and I-129 in OCT 2013. See my posts on below link:

Were you in an area affect by the typhoon to be processed so quickly?

If I were you, I'd read up on the NVC process with the CR1/IR1 because over 99% of the time, the I-129F is closed before it can reach an embassy because of an approved I-130.

No, my Philippine beneficiaries do not live anywhere close to where the super typhoon hit.

Yes, I'm aware that NVC will administratively close my I-129 if NVC happens to process and approve my I-130 first. Thanks for looking out though.

Coincidentally, that same JANUARY17th afternoon that I posted my original quote (which you replied to), I received 2 e-mails from NVC Portsmouth, NH indicating that NVC has started processing our I-130 (they e-mailed and asked us to complete the DS-261 and pay the Affidavit of Support processing fee which we did). I called NVC who confirmed that they received our approved I-130s and I-129 from CSC last JANUARY 15th and have processed the I-130s (they also confirmed that they will administratively close our I-129).

I really don't know why our application has moved rather so quickly - my case was not an expedite criteria and I submitted nothing more than what was required by USCIS. Don't get me wrong - I am very happy about how quickly my application has been processed so far. At least, with the I-130, I won;t have to pay the 1K+ dollars (per beneficiary) that I would have paid if with the I-129 route.

Well Congrats on how fast it's gone! What a blessing!
