uscis website still sazs initial review

[Gosia & John 0]

my petition was accepted on May 20th, and i received my NOA2 on the 25th. when i check the USCIS website it still says initial review. Would that be any problem?

Call NVC and see if they have your case yet. When it reaches NVC then you are responsible for moving your case forwards.

i called 30 minutes ago and the machine said they still dont have it.

Does it make a difference if i talk to the operator or the machine?

Not really. I would keep calling the automated voice response (AVR) until it tells you that you now have a NVC case number. It probably won't happen till about a week and a half from now, based on my personal experience. (and your mileage may vary.)

I find it odd that within five days of acceptance you were approved even with expedition that seems blazingly fast. Are you sure it wasn't your NOA1 that you received?

Forget USCIS--it should be a distant memory for you now--NVC is your new friend going forward. It took exactly 9 calendar days for our NVC case number to show up on the automated system from the time of the NOA2, and then I called the operator and she gave me our IIN number so I could start paying the bills, although it was another day before the first bill was posted to the payment site so I could pay it. So far everthing with NVC has been flawless and quick.

We are filing the AOS and IV papers next week when back form vacation, and we'll see if the faster than a speeding bullet timeline is still working.

No , it clearly said that the i-130 has been accepted and that they forwarded my case to the NVC.
