How can we possibly contact them to know why the he*l they're not sending out petitions to the NVC?
The CSC doesn't reply to emails anymore... so I guess we can call them and ask. Well I can't, because I'm not the USC.
The last VJ case NVC received from CSC was approved on Sep 1st, but there are a lot of cases that were approved before that and are still stuck there.
Like we didn't have to wait enough to get our approvals....

I know it doesn't seem right, and it definitely isn't fair to you guys.....I don't understand why they are taking so long to send them over to NVC unless they are just so backlogged with approved petitions now....Wishing you the best though, and Good Luck, maybe it will be sent anyday now

Our case was NOA2 on Aug 30 and was just sent to Consulate this Monday. I called NVC 1 time a week to check the status. The NVC is fairly easy to call and you are not on hold very long.

The NVC tends to vary in time doing a background check.

I would give them a call 1 or 2 times a week, they will either say "Administrative Review" or Has been sent on.

Don't feel too upset, In my case the petition will arrive in China and be held up at customs clearance for 1-2 months before even reaches the consulate.

I'm not upset yet, just anxious! And I'm not complaining about how long it takes NVC to do their service... I'm complaining about CSC not sending our cases to NVC. These are two different things
I know it's easy to call the NVC and I'm doing it often... but it annoys me to know that we're all stuck at the Service Center, that's all.
I thought having my NOA2 meant not having to rely on USCIS... but as we can all see, that's not the case so much anymore.
Anyway.... it's only been 2 weeks... I'll wait to b*tch more if they haven't received my case in a couple of weeks. Hopefully that'll not be the case!

have the US Citizen petitioner call and email NVC.

I call NVC everyday to check on the status and they don't have my petition yet. My noa2 was Aug 24, and some people who was approved after me already had a packet 3. If my petition is under background check, I believe at least there is a record in NVC. I have a feeling my petition is still stuck in CSC, and I don't know what to do other than calling NVC everyday.

You probably meant USCIS, right? Because the NVC I can call and email myself.... and trust me I do it often!
As I've said it before, the problem (or my problem) is not NVC... the problem is that CSC is holding our petitions there for a long time instead of sending them out!
And yeah I'll have him call the USCIS (they don't reply to emails anymore)!

I know it is very hard waiting for the next step in this long and stressful process. But there is nothing we can do to expedite. Calling USCIS will only generate more frustration because they will give standard replies. Since a load of K1 cases were approved in the first week of Sept. at CSC. They will all be shipped to NVC in batches. It is possible that our files have already arrived at NVC, but not appearing in their computer system because of the backlog.

I am in the same boat as yours. I am also very anxious. Actually I can hardly get sound sleep. I amtrying to divert my mind to other things....in vain so far.

I know.... I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping! I need to relax.... hehe
Everything you said there makes sense and I agree with you, but it's hard to relax when I know that Christmas is coming and one week could make a HUGE difference.
Good luck to us!!

Mine was approved the same day, but as of yesterday it hasn't reached NVC. So much for doing them in batches.

ahh. just that many more recent petitions that may end up ahead of the older ones in the nvc or consolates thanx to our incompetant csc.

i think they lack of order mgt. i have been calling almost everyday and the reply always negative that they dont have our case yet. but then hrs later after the call i got an email which took them 5 days to reply that our case was already sent at the embassy...
i hope you'll have ur case being sent too. i guess ive waited 3 weeks for mine

Yep I agree...Can't move them in if they ain't moving out...

I've got three shots at making one of our Christmas's mine 12/25 (no way) Her's Jan 7th and Jan 14th I think it was ..SO hopefully I can have my Veronica here on one of the Christmas's hahhaha..Fingers crossed
