So I called USCIS today to inquire about my petition not being at NVC yet after NOA2 and to ask about "and was forwarded to the consular office listed" on NOA2 and they told me that for I-129F they send not to the NVC but directly to the embassy. She didn't really give a normal answer as to whether this was previously the case.

Any thoughts? Was this true for anyone here recently? Do their support folks just not know what's going on?

Though, the NVC still doesn't have my petition and the Moscow embassy hasn't responded yet.

You're not the only one... I've seen cases like yours and you should be happy about it because your petition is on its way to the consulate. Just my .02... I'm sure someone can enlighten you more about this... Good luck!

maybe this is a blessing in disguise....

I'm in the same boat as you. My file should have been at NVC by now. I received NOA2 on 1/17 and NVC still has no record, according to the automated system. I never imagined it could go straight to the Embassy in Bangkok.

Keep in touch and let me know if you here anything, I'll do the same.

The Customer Service center told me this many times, but I don't believe it is the case. I spoke to my USCIS field office about this, and he said it would go to the Embassy through the NVC. Things have changed since USCIS became part of the Department of Homeland Security, and I believe people at USCIS, especially the cusomer service center, have not been informed. I would be very surprised if it didn't go through NVC first.

There have been many cases on VJ with that wording, but if you look at those peoples timelines now, they all have a date listed for when NVC received it.

NOA1 - 12/21/15

NOA2 - 04/18/16

NVC Receive - 04/29/16

NVC Welcome - 05/13/16

DS-261 - 05/14/16

AOS, IV PAID - 05/27/16

Case Transferred to US Embassy in Riga Latvia at the end of October.

Its best to talk to a person at NVC, I have heard here the Automated System does not record K-1 cases. It can take up to 4 weeks for NVC to record your case.

Good Luck!

So I got an email from NVC today saying that they had my petition/case and now finished processing it and forwarded it to the embassy. Which means that it was in fact sent to NVC regardless of what NOA2 said.. which doesn't matter, since they finished processing it very quickly, YAY!!!!!!!!! :)

Well I called NVC today and they still don't have case. I had a NOA2 from CSC dated 1/18/2007 and of course the notice said that it was being sent to NVC and this is 2 weeks later. The person at NVC said it could take up to 90 days, but usually no longer than 30, and to just keep calling back! So that's what I'll do.
