Recent NOA1's not sent (VSC)

Hi.

My wife and I filed around july 15th for the 751, the check was cashed, we received biometrics notice and went to the appointment a few weeks after, but as of yet, have not received the NOA1 (1 month left in window), contacted uscis by phone and was informed that cases were transfered to Texas (which is wierd, since the sticky on this forum says they're not accepting, maybe she got it confused and meant the revers), and that noa1's were "not sent out". I couldn't believe it. Now we need to wait 7-14 days for a duplicate, hopefully that will come or the window to receive the extension is down to about a week. This has become seriously annoying to have to wait this long because we might have travel plans around the extension time and also my wife is currently looking for a new job, so a green card with 2 weeks left doesn't look that great to employers. I really can't understand how such an important document could, in the serviceperson's word, "be not sent out".

I'll stop whining and make some use of this post. I searched ans saw some issues about this months and years ago, is anybody else experiencing this from vsc recently? thanks.

To Reply to myself. The "duplicate" NOA1 came in a week after the call. Never got the original, but the service rep says this will function fine. There was no charge for this, so it's worth the call and waiting on hold I think.
