Yup, it's still going through NVC. I don't know why they've recently been sending NOA2s without mentioning this (I've seen screenshots confirming it), but all I-129Fs go through NVC to get a case number and such, then are sent to the embassy.

I think, because many/most people aren't as obsessed with every little detail, like we are; this extra information ends up being extraneous and confusing. 

 

Oh, it is going to the NVC? I thought it needed to go to the embassy now? Did I screw something up? etc. etc. That's my guess, simplifying the discussion, to eliminate what many would consider unnecessary information.

Possibly. But then I wish they would do it for everybody in the same situation (not just a handful of them).
