Hi FherJess, we have the same NOA2 date. Ours was actually approved on the 7th. It's funny USCIS changed the date on the site to 8th the following day.
Anyway isn't it great each of us don't have to deal with this uncertainty in our own small corners of the world?
Once the case is received by DoS, it will be sent out to local consulate in 1-2 days.
To have a guess as to when your packet was sent out, check out on DHL.com.
Found this thread, and it really works !

Hi there, form DS-157 is used when a foreign fiance is a man. Yes you can get ready for other forms, especially the I-134 and accompanying evidences such as tax return and employer's letter.
Other docs needed and possibly taking time to prepare is Police Certificate from countries other than your homeland.
Also the foreign fiance(e) can take immunization shots at a local doctor before medical check. Please double check country specifics for medicals.

Congrats on your NOA2 and good luck !!!!!
