Well the more I read it... the more I dont see an answer in it. At least it is not on hold for some security reason

Seriously... this is not great at all... "with an officer pending consideration" it means it has not been seen whatsoever yet? I am never gonna get it ?

I think we both are on same page,I thought I have waited know but have to wait another 45 days to get their decision and God knows what their decision going to be ? Have a faith in God hopefully we will get our approvals soon.

I was wondering if anybody here had luck with reaching the NVC? I got approved on September 5th. My husband keeps trying it but never comes through :-(

[counicoune 2]

Still nothing... This is bad.

Same here.... still waiting

Why is there a major slow down with VSC now? I'm also having difficulty trying to understand why all of these service centers work in waves of high productivity to low productivity and back again. Why aren't they all working proportionally on a more consistent basis? I understand there are some variables that would make for slower and faster processing on a smaller scale, but not to the grander magnitude as these service centers seem to encounter. It's just super frustrating

Hey Nadeshda, we got approved the same day. Transfer to CSC, right? Did you get a USCIS case status update saying they shipped your case to NVC at all? Because we didn't - USCIS website still shows "your case was approved on Sep 5th". I asked my wife to call by the end of the week if we don't hear anything, but I guess the approval notice did say to wait 30 days...

[S. & A. 159]

(Has anyone that was transferred from NSC to CSC gotten a notification that their case was shipped to NVC? If so, when?)

[Lynn n Sam 57]

Even though I knew it would be a fruitless effort on my part - I decided to go ahead and file a service request. Well I was correct in my assumption. I received a non answer reply.... sigh. Additionally, the reply contradicts itself so, what to believe?? Is it currently with an officer or it's waiting to be assigned to an officer?? It states both. What the....?? A partial copy of the reply below: In the meantime, back to the waiting game.
