Frustrated!

So I finally got a response from NVCResearch. No good news at all. Here it is verbatim:

Dear Sir/Madam:

The National Visa Center received your inquiry and the attached I-797 Notice of Action - Approval Notice. Unfortunately we do not have a record of receiving your approved petition from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

NVC will work with USCIS to determine the location of your petition. We will let you know when we have more information. You do not need to take any action at this time. Thank you for your patience as we work with USCIS to ensure your case is moving forward.

Sincerely,

Wayne

National Visa Center

Sheer frustrations have compelled me chime in on this topic. Greg, I am in the same situation that you are in. I129F (NOA2) was approved on 7/08/2016 and still no case from NVC. All inquiries to USCIS and NVC are met with canned responses...utterly useless. Emailed NVCResearch and still no response after 2 weeks, which is to be expected (sadly). Just enlisted the help of my congressman in hopes of getting some answers (crossing my fingers). At this point, I'm hoping that my file is backlogged somewhere, but hey, let's just assume the worse and that it somehow vanished. I'll be a good citizen and just proactively reconstruct my I129F petition right now!

Ok, enough of the rant (sighs). Those of you who are experiencing the same thing as Greg and I, I assure you we share the same frustrations. My fiancee is expecting our first born in April 2017...I really hope the government of the greatest country in the world doesn't let me down.
