I'm starting to feel nervous. We are NOA2 on May 17, nothing at NVC yet.

I see on Igor's List that a fair number of filers from May 15, 16, 17, 18, 21 and 24 have already gotten to NVC.

If they go in batches, ok, but ... where are we? I hate this feeling of being skipped over again. Why is it so irregular? Do I need to start to worry?

Relationship since April 2006

Sorry to be the grumpy curmudgeon, but it's possible. I have no idea how they batch stuff together. Everyone that was approved on my date (4/24) that made it to the NVC all got there by 5/10. I'm still waiting, and after over a month, I finally got them to locate it, but I'm still waiting for it to get to the NVC.

So should you start to worry? I'd say yes. after 15 business days, you can inquire to NVC Research, but that takes at least 2 weeks to get a response. After 30 days, you can put in a service request to USCIS.

so even if there's a problem, expect at least a month for anything to be done.

Wooo! Our file arrived at NVC!!! NOA2 May 17, so this was 17 regular days or exactly 10 BUSINESS DAYS, and it arrived today. Got our case number too, but it's not shipped out yet, so I'll call back in another couple days to make sure it's moved on. But it's a HUGE relief, I was starting to worry since so many had already gotten through.

My heart leapt when the lady asked for date of birth and names, because every call before then had just stopped after giving my WAC number. I knew when she asked for date of birth that there was good news, and I could hardly contain my excitement. :D
