Status with NVC
Dilbert,
I was in the same staus as you are. My 140 for CP was approved on 20th Feb, 2004. I was frequently checking the status with AVM at NVC, but the AVM status was consistent stating that there was no record of my case.
As per NVC you can call them after 3 weeks if you don't find your case in the system (or) if the AVM is not updated. The following is the link for the same.

"Why don't you have my case at NVC yet?
When you complete a petition (I-130, I-140, etc.) for an immigrant visa you send it to Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security for approval. If the CIS approves the petition they will send you a Notice of Approval (I-797) and then they will send the petition to NVC. There is a delay between when you get the Notice of Receipt and the Notice of Approval from CIS and also between when you get the Notice of Approval and when NVC receives the petition. After NVC receives the petition, we will create a case record and assign a case number. We recommend that you wait at least three weeks after you get your Notice of Approval before calling NVC if you have not heard from the Center by that time. "
****************************************************
So, after 3 weeks I spoke to an operator at NVC and she informed me that the case was received on 12th March, 2004 but has not been entered into the system. The AVM gets updated only after the case is entered in the system. Five days after I spoke with the operator my case was entered into the system on the 17th March, 2004. You may want to speak with an Operator if you have passed 4 weeks after 140 approval.
BTW, did your attorney get the I-140 approval notice?
I have entered my details in CP Tracker under the name 'jalabalajings'.
Hope this information helps.
Thanks,
DA

Any thoughts? I cant imagine that to be the case, but it seems to be stuck around 3/8. There is a i140 case approved on 3/1/04 (dinz10 in cptracker). Anyone know the status? I havent seen the name around in this forum. Just curious to know if a case yet to be created at NSC or has the record just not been updated.
Thanks,
Dilbert
