ok so I just looked at the email that was dated july 10 stating that my petition was being recalled. so what is a good estimate on how much time it will take until my case is back down at the US Embassy and waiting once agian on packet number 3 to arrive.

Well, I am sorry to say none of the recalled petitions have been reapproved, and sent back. I am in the same boat as you. My fiancee actually received packet 3 and returned it. They returned the petition to the US before they received packet 3 back, so she will have to receive it again. There is a thread for all recalled petitions. you should enter your info, and check out the timelines in the thread.
