Delay at USCIS

[yokogurl99 0]

Hello, my question is, I got my petition approved on March 4, 2010. I received my hardcopy on March 8 or 9 ( I forgot) Its been over 1 month and almost 2 weeks and NVC still does not have it. NVC told me to e-mail them a scan copy of my approved letter and wait for a response back. Here is the response back that I got after 3 weeks.

Dear Sir/Madam:

Please be adviced that the National Visa Center (NVC)contacted U.S. Citizenship Immigration Service (USCIS) in regards to your approved petition. This petition is located at the USCIS office in California Service Center. Please contact USCIS for further information

So from my understanding with this e-mail that I got, its still sitting at the California Service Center and has not been mailed out. CORRECT? Its already been approved but why can't they just sent it out and foward it to NVC. Is this normal? I've contacted USCIS and all they say is it could take up to 90 days to get to NVC. What am I to do? Really I shouldn't be complaining because I got approved in a short time, but its frustrating that it did get approved but it hasn't been mailed out yet. Has anyone else gone through this same situation or have any advice for me. Pls help.

Thanks

Hi,

I am also waiting from past 3 weeks.

I called USCIS and they said it is going to take another 2 or 3 weeks to mail it.

I wonder what is the reason to hold up a approved petition.

Thanks

have the usc set up an infopass appointment, then have a service request made in person, at that appointment.

Failing that, you can contact the USCIS ombusdsman's office, inquire about casefile location.

Is the infopass any help? When I was searching on here regarding infopass (because I didn't know what it meant) alot of them didn't have much luck with it. Most of the VJ'ers said its useless and its the same information you would get when you call USCIS. If I don't hear anything next week then that will be my next step. My local USCIS is about 3 hours away so I don't want to drive there and all they do is tell me the same thing. But I will do it just so that I can be one step closer to my future husband. Gosh I hope I have some gud news next week

sorry to hear about the delay but if worst comes to worst then I suggest that you get your senator involved

So I checked the status of my petition on the USCIS website and it was updated today 4/19/2010, not only that I also got a text message saying that my case was updated. So I called USCIS today and they said that my case was "amended" and that I should wait up to 30 days for the notice. What exactly does "amended" mean?
