For all Junes still waiting, idd like to share some good news. Once you receive the NOA2 it is only a matter of weeks (depending on the country) but for example for us once we received the NOA 2 On Nov 15th, one week and a half later NVC has received it and they shipped the application documents to the country consulate within only ew days after receiving it. They use expedited shipping service and the consulate received the package in less than a week we had packet 3 which was delivered by email to my the petitioner. Check my timeline for more precise dates.

All I am saying is the once you have the NOA 2 is faster that you would think.

Hi, I did not have to do anything to request this, I believe it's the custom to send it like this for certain countries.

I didn't know myself that they would email the package.

Good luck!

I am hearing you both! :clock::unsure:

Almost 7 months for us, we are with Vermont.

All we can do is wait, exercise yet more patience, dig deep and hold out hope of receiving the NOA2 one day real soon.

We are all one day closer :yes:
