Rob,

Welcome to NVC.

The delivery time from CSC to NVC, in my personal experience is about 11 days.

Start calling NVC at this number: 603-334-0700.

Press 1 for English, and 5 for an operator. When the call is answered, 1 then 5 immediately.

Provide your USCIS number to see if the case has arrived.

Your case turns around quick in NVC.

Regards.
