I actually called just once. Our NoA2 email was I think September 16, and it clearly said to wait a month before contacting NVC. I called them last Wednesday, once, and the person I spoke to said that our info was received at NVC on Oct 3rd, but it hadn't been processed yet, and to call back in a week. I was going to call again on Wednesday (2 days ago), but on Tuesday night, I received an email from NVC addressed to my husband, with our case number and IIN, instructions on how to proceed, and a checklist of the documents that will be needed (to include as a cover sheet when we mail our packet). The next day, I received an email from them addressed to me, with more or less the same info, plus a 'paper invoice' if I am not able to pay the fee online. So there was pretty much no need to call them at all. I calculated from our case number that it was generated on October 20th, and they sent me notice on the 21st, so people obviously know how to do their jobs
Also, when I called, I didn't give them our emails. When I mailed the I-130, I included the electronic notification form, which had my email address on it. NVC sent both notices (address to both my husband and me), to that email address.
P.S. No match for Sarajevski cevapi anywhere

we are in Sarajevo, frips, so cevapi is a regular occurrence
our case went through CSC as well, so hopefully you will get expedited processing! and I read the other topic someone posted about filers from abroad, and it does say that the expedite only applies to the I-130. the NVC part is the same for everyone. i'm waiting for our NoA2 to arrive in the mail (should be soon, NoA1 took about 13 days), before I start calling the NVC.

1. Country USC resides in: Bosnia
2. Is there a USCIS field office in this country / Is DCF still possible? No
3. When did you file the I-130: August 27, 2014
4. How long had you been living abroad: 14 months
5. Do you reside in the country legally? Yes
6. What is the reason for your residence: Being with husband. We had planned to stay here, but sucky economic situation dictated otherwise.
7. Did you list your foreign address on all forms in I-130 package? Yes
8. Did you send I-130 package from abroad? Yes
9. Did you include evidence of your residence abroad in the I-130 package? Not really, I included proof of joint finances (bank accounts) both here and in the US.
10. Did you mention the fact you reside abroad in the cover letter or write a letter describing your current situation and the evolution of your relationship with your spouse (mentioning your residence abroad)? Yes, a letter describing our situation and plans
11. Has your case been "auto-expedited"? How long between NOA1 and NOA2? Yes, 14 days.
Also, someone earlier mentioned to not list any US addresses on the I130. I did list a US for where the intending immigrant plans to live. It's the address where my parents live, and I also listed it as my last US address. It seems that doesn't negatively affect a potential auto expedite.,
Anyone know how long the NVC process is taking now, ball park? Auto-expedite doesn't seem to apply to the NVC portion of the process...
