They say 8 weeks to give themselves padding.

What a lot of people do is just call once a week. Don't panic. It'll happen. Usually within a month.

Yes I keep hearing the same thing. Everyone I talk to seems to be reading off a script. They can not seem to give a reason. Just pray is my best advice. I have been waiting sense Aug 16th

Thing to remember guys: it's government. They'll take their time and it'll happen when it happens.

When you do call the nvc to get your case number, be nice, polite, courteous and all those things. Usually the cubicle monkey you're talking to isn't the one who has control over it, so it doesn't do anyone any good if you take out your frustrations on the process on them.

The important thing is, ladies and gentlemen, is that you have reached that next step and you are that little step closer to the goal. Stay positive and don't panic if it takes a bit longer (or shorter) than the vj timelines say. Cause really, when you look at it, what's an extra week/month of waiting when you're looking at spending the rest of your life with someone? Grand scheme of things, yeah it sucks waiting but good things come to those who wait and all those cliches.

Again, STAY CALM, DON'T PANIC, and focus on the positives not the delays.

Just to join in with everyone else-we received our NOA2 Aug. 12th. Still has not arrived at NVC. I've called a couple times just to get the "it's not here" / "wait 8 weeks" response, like everyone else. I was budgeting that this was going to be the speediest part of this whole process and I'm really starting to get anxious. Can you ever schedule your visa interview just with the NOA2 and before the NVC has sent it off?

So at church today I felt God remind me that he has everything under control and we just have to have faith. I know God put us both together and like someone else said we will spend the rest of our lifes together so just a little bit longer.

May God bless each of you that are waiting and do not give up hope I pray all of us will here something soon.
