So I got my NOA2 the other day but I am unclear as to what happens next. I was expecting to have to pay some extra fees or submit additional forms or something, but as far as I can tell, it is just a notice telling me that the application was accepted and that it has been forwarded to the national visa center. Can someone confirm that there is nothing to do at this point or let me know if I need to do anything?

Yes, you are much more in control of the pace now and once you get your case number things can happen pretty quickly if you want them to.

Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Thanks for the replies. I have been reading the info provided and it looks like I have quite a bit of documentation ahead of me :( but from what I understand, the longest wait is over :)

HOW long has it been since you put in NOA1? Your timeline is not complete. Just curious.
