Hi @Rosegrove, I have received my NOA2 hardcopy. I called NVC day before yesterday and they haven't received my case. I'm worried its been three weeks and NVC yet haven't received my case from Potomac service center,

Hi @LinJoe, yes I have signed up for text and email notification. The last notification says your i130 was approved. Its been three weeks and they haven't received my case at the NVC. Btw congratulations on getting your case completed :-)

Hi @JASM, yep 3 weeks and counting.. still no sign of them receiving my case. Called NVC and they haven't received it yet. No updates on the online USCIS portal either.

Hmm, I know the service centers don't send off every petition to NVC individually so sometimes it takes some time. But with 3 weeks without an update on the USCIS portal I'd probably call them (USCIS) to check with them.

Hi @Rosegrove, I have received my NOA2 hardcopy. I called NVC day before yesterday and they haven't received my case. I'm worried its been three weeks and NVC yet haven't received my case from Potomac service center,

Hi @JASM, yep 3 weeks and counting.. still no sign of them receiving my case. Called NVC and they haven't received it yet. No updates on the online USCIS portal either.

Hmm, I know the service centers don't send off every petition to NVC individually so sometimes it takes some time. But with 3 weeks without an update on the USCIS portal I'd probably call them (USCIS) to check with them.

This may not be the norm, but it happens. It happened to us. We received NOA2 on 12/1 but our case status wasn't updated on the USCIS portal until a little after 3 weeks later, once the file was sent off to NVC. NVC didn't receive our case until 12/30 so it took almost a month for us from NOA2 to get to NVC. Amren hopefully that ease your mind a bit. I'm sure it will be sent off soon, keep us posted. :)
