Call DOS!!! NAO2 8/22. Our apps are finally being received at NVC. No case number yet but should have by wednesday. Def a lot better knowing that they have arrived and we dont have to worry that they are lost. So all my August NAO2 friends call DOS 1-202485-7600 Shorter wait time and nicer customer agents

Awesome! Congrats! I am hoping the government impending shut down won't hurt us too bad. Ours was 9/4 and we are ready to roll once the petition get to Germany.

Heck yeah it did! I have luckily been following these threads to get estimations on times for all the CSC folks. We have to change his address in Germany though so now I really need to talk to the NVC every other day to ensure we get it changed.

Thank you very much and good luck on the rest of your journey!! :D

HaHA that is too funny, i was desperate for the case number for the same reason. but wait to change the address until you have the case number. Then you email the german consulate with the case number in the subject line and discuss changing the address. You dont want to slow anything down before NVC sends it to Germany. I do believe however, that the form that you fill out online as part of "packet 3" asks for the current mailing address so I would hope they would update based off of that but you cant go wrong with shooting them an email first with the case number while you wait for the packet to travel from NVC to Germany.

Yes. The German consulate told him to let the NVC know. I hate calling them as I have also preferred DOS but, perhaps DOS can change it easy also. I will call them towards the end of this week.

That's great to hear and congrats to those of you with the NVC step now well underway! Looks like it took about 6 weeks to receive, so factoring in any delays due to the imminent possible shutdown, should hopefully be only 3 more weeks or a bit more for us!
