Hello everyone!

I-130 for my French husband got approved on December 13th 2013. I did a change of address December 3rd 2013 that got taken into account December 26th 2013.

I call the NVC everyday to find out about my case number but they say they have not received my petition from USCIS yet. It's been almost 6 weeks and I see posts on here where people have received their case number only a couple of days after the approval letter.

Should I be worried because of the change of address? Should I call USCIS to find out if they did in fact send my petition to the NVC?

8 weeks is the longest. Yes you can call USCIS and NVC anytime you want to ask where your case is :) That's what I do these days too, calling them everyday. hehe :)
