C-File completed?

[BuddyLoveAK]

The FOIA for my C-File showed up as Gathering of Evidence under "open claims" until 11/30/17, when it moved to the completed section. Does anyone know approximately how long it'll take for them to finish processing my C-File now that it's "completed" under eBenefits and send it to me? Do they get mailed right away? Or do they get put into another stack where I have to wait another 6 months for it to get mailed? Also, my NOD got denied so I filed a substantive appeal. However, the substantive appeal has been sitting at the originating VA office for the past several months. Does anyone know approximately how long it takes for substantive appeals to be moved from the originating VA office to the board and get a docket number? Thanks!

I called my attorney and he received my c-file. It's 4,000 pages long! Is that normal for it to be so long? It's going to take forever to wade through all of that!

Unfortunately I don’t know what’s normal mines around 5000

My cfile is also about 5000 pages.  The length of your cfile depends on medical evidence, decisions, and how much of it VA has shredded, if any.  Many cfiles are electronically stored, as mine is.  I have it on DVD rom.

As of 2016 Most veterans with claims have had their C-File Digitized and place in a compact Disk.
