Hello may fellows!  
So after making several calls to USCIS we finally have been able to  get more informations about our case. it has been sent to the wrong address!!! 😱 The lady we talked to said they sent our  case weeks ago to 
California visa center:
24000 azila road 2nd floor road 2312 laguna niguel, CA 92677. 
We called NVC  which confirmed its not the right address.  So we called USCIS again and they said we have to go to the local center and tell them about the problem to get it fixed.  
So that sounds like a better explanation of why after 6week nvc still has not received our cases.   Im jst guessing it must be the case for the others too since they send cases by bunches( wouldn't hurt to call to figure out) . 
Please does anyone have anything to share about similar situation? 
😭😭 

Approved date October 30th

Can’t believe this.

 

Who in USCIS gave you this info? Tier 1 or 2?

with local centers you mean local Offices such as Chicago in Illinois?

 

thanks!!!

#######... I just talked to a tier 1 and set a call back for tier 2... 

 

I thought that when they send it to the wrong address that they automatically send it back to USCIS so that they can forward it to the correct destination??? How is it on you to go to a local office to report it? This is crazy.

Hello. I got one but  surprisingly enough it didn't take long to get my approval. RFE Nov 14, they got it back on the 21st and we were approved on the 29th. Now if I could only get this NVC number things would be great

Oh wow that’s excellent ! That has really helped me feel a bit better ,  thank you! 

Best of luck with your hthe rest of the process , I hope you get it before Christmas 😊

Sorry I'm confused.  Was your NOA2 sent to that address thinking it was a NVC address?  Because that address shows as USCIS.  So confused.

I thought the same too.   Seems weird to send an approval notice to uscis considering that  they were supppsed to have it in first hand.  Anyway besides praying I guess i jst have to wait  for nvc reply now( made an inquiry yesterday).

Ok just got a call back from a very nice tier 2 officer (last name Lopez), he gave me more information than most of the tier 2 officers I've spoken with and was very sympathetic to our situation. I'll summarize as completely as possible: 

 

- Not to worry, no cases around our time were sent to a "california visa center" (don't think there is such a thing, he said he thought the person here who quoted that may have been referring to the California service center by mistake

- For my case at least (and most likely all others around my approval time NOA2 Nov 2), the I-129F is still sitting at CSC- it has not been mailed yet

- He said in the system he can see that it has cleared all steps at CSC, and is only waiting to be mailed

- He said while this wait time of 6+ weeks is unusually long, we are all in the same boat, and it is the average time for the time being

- He said he believes that the petitions should arrive at NVC before the holidays

- He also issued a request to CSC to actually send the petitions to NVC

- He said to not worry about petitions expiring, because CSC will issue another approval with a later date if a petition is close to expiring due to slowdowns/backlogs on their end. He said he doesn't anticipate this happening though, and that all of ours should arrive at NVC before this happens.

Hope this is helpful to anyone else in the same boat. I'm going to cool it on calling NVC every day probably until next week. Since all of our petitions are just sitting at CSC, it's not of any use to keep bugging NVC and keep getting the same answer. I"ll probably try again on Monday just to see if it arrived, but am still not going to get my hopes up.

God bless Mr. Lopez. So after all...We learned from this that it takes 6 weeks to send mail.  Is it me or is someone lazy?

Thank you for posting this.
