Got the call back. Second time I called out of 4 where I didn't get hung up on! I got a much nicer ISO this time. He put me on hold to check the tracking information (good news, also ISO hold music is actual music. I got a little bit of Marvin Gay). Approved petition sent July 1, 2016, so last Friday!

NOA2 June 7th, got my NVC number on Friday last week.... and up until last week, cases seemed to be sent almost instantly to the embassy. For us? Still sitting at NVC... cases who got their number assigned the day before seem to also still be at NVC. So brace yourselves, everyone... the wait is never ending

I call the military help line and I get right through. I have no idea the normal number to call. You just need to ask to speak with a tier 2, and they should transfer you.

Call NVC but they still haven't receive anything I'm getting impatient since I see people with the same NOA2 approval date getting their case number but I don't get mines, I was told the same thing 6 weeks by NVC and when I call USCIS to see when it was sent they told me to wait 90 days for approval to be sent but by then my approval will be expire -.- not sure what to do or think..

Call USCIS and ask for tier 2 officer. If first person denies it, call again and ask somebody new. I got a call back back when the rep was willing to take down my basic information (i.e. name, address, email, phone) and told me the officer would call back in the next day or two. That officer who called back was happy to check to see when it was sent to nvc. NVC is actually very quick when they receive it...find out date sent from USCIS. I used the following site to estimate ground shipping of 5 days from USCIS zip code to New Hampshire (https://www.ups.com/maps). That was very accurate for my case.

It should be there later today or tomorrow. My guess. It took 5 mail days for our case to arrive, counting the day sent (sent fri 6-24, received wed 6-29 // no mail on sunday). If yours was the same, and assuming no mail on sunday or mon july 4th, today would be your 5th mail day. They actually told me they didn't have it when I called on mail day 5, but when I called on mail day 6, they told me it had been received the day before.

I Call and ask for a tier 2 it took about 2 hours for the officer to call me but he said he couldn't find anything no date as when it was sent but put a inquiry to see where my case is I'm having panic attack since neither USCIS or NVC can tell me where my case is at or what's going on.. The person in the phone told me it takes 30 days or maybe a little longer for NVC to put it on their system but that Once your approval USCIS notified immediate NVC but it takes them a while to review cases depending on how many cases they have for that specific country...

The wait is killing me and not knowing, and what's worst I'm visiting my fiancé and I was hoping to get all this done now that I'm in the country so I'm hoping I will have the interview by the end of this month but now I don't think it will happen ;(
