I am happy to be over on this thread now also. We got our NOA-2 on June 19. I guess now we wait for further instructions, does anyone know how long the wait is for the package 3&4? to be sent to my fiance in Russia? Thanks and congrats to all who have made it through TSC and lived to tell after the long wait.

Okay, second call to NVC today. 25 redials to get through, no time spent in the queue, got an operator straight away.

As of today, the case is still not there. Today marks 19 days post NOA-2 and 8 days since the online status on the USCIS website changed to "sent to NVC".

The operator told me it might take until July 29th, but I will ignore that... :)

I'll try again on Friday, it better get there soon! ;) I am getting a little annoyed as it seems to take longer than the average I see on people's timelines.

@karmdl1: Should be around 4-8 weeks until you hear from the embassy.

Got my NOA2 letter in the mail on Monday. Hasn't been sent to NVC yet though (even though the NOA2 actually says they have sent our case there). It's only been a week though, so I was expecting that. It's weird how as soon as we got our approval I completely stopped looking at the website and just dropped it all from my mind.

Hopefully that visa printing issue will be resolved before we all get to our interviews! I can't imagine it taking that long, but you just can't be sure about these things.

I am a little disappointed because my fiance has to submit an official request to his government to put a "hold" on his status as a public school teacher so he can leave the country. That could take months to be "processed" and he can't submit the final paperwork they need until we have the visa in hand. So after that we have no idea how long it will take for them to process his paperwork so he can leave :( He says not more than 3 months, but as you can imagine that is pretty disheartening.

3rd call to NVC, 40 redials, 9 mins in the queue. Case got there yesterday, no number yet! So 20 days from NOA-2 to NVC receive.

Will call back next week. They gave the spiel that entering the case takes 4 weeks...

Thanks! I am not in a particular hurry, as I won't be able to interview before late Sept anyway, but I do wanna stay on top of the process, so I can intervene in case any SNAFUs happen.

Good luck with the rest of your process!
