I called the NVC tonight to just check and see if my information had gotten to them, been calling every other day, and I got through tonight, a very nice lady asked for my phone number, my fiance's name and date of birth, then called me by name, so I knew my paperwork was there. I asked her what the status was and she said it was sent to Guangzhou yesterday.

It was a total of 3 weeks, since my NOA2, I feel so much better. So for anyone else waiting, you probably won't have much longer.

I used to think I was a very patient person but I am finding since this began, I am not.

I am not patient as well

Yep, this process does just seem to take forever. My case is through NVC and i'm still waiting for packet 3 - its nearly a month since NOA2. Every day this last week i've arrived home from work hoping to find a package in the mail, and everyday i've been disappointed.

Anyone else feel its like a prison sentence waiting for this visa - as we're forced to be apart from our fiances, trapped in our own countries while we wait for our interview date/release date!!!

40 days in the hole, and I am not patient.
