Just for anyone curious - I'm not sure how reliable the email system is from NVC but this is a copy of the email my fiancee (petitioner) received from NVC about two weeks ago. My case still shows on the tracker site as "In Transit" though. @TearsOfBabylon

Every step of the way has been concerning to me

I just had my medical today. It included a full physical, a blood and urine test (for STD's), and a chest X-ray. Came to AU$539 (about US$400), which is better than I was expecting. I got lucky as the only vaccination that I was missing was the current flu shot, which I got for free as a health professional. 
 
On the down side I'm still waiting for Sydney to receive the petition - it still shows on the tracker as 'In Transit'. Hopefully soon so I can book my interview!
 
For everyone still waiting - be patient and pray! It'll happen soon I'm sure!

My dear fellow Whiners! 

After I got up this morning I've received a text from Scott, saying: "Oh no! They must have left out some background checks! :D" 
Followed by the picture of the golden letter! 

NOA2 - Petition APPROVED!!

First time I really cried because I was so relieved! Now I know how it feels to have a ton of rocks falling off the shoulders!

The adventure goes on - I'm so happy today! 

Good luck and fingers are crossed for all who are waiting: The feeling when you receive it it worth every waiting day!

Hugs for you all from this blessed German girl - you people have been my rock during this wait! 

NOA1 receive date: 03/17/2017
NOA1 notice date:   03/22/2017
NOA2 notice date:   06/23/2017
Hardcopy in hands: 06/29/2017
Total time processing: 93 days

Thank you! :-)
Yeah, that was my "calculation" as well. But I'm still only gonna book me a flight once I have my passport back, or the consular officer says "you'll receive your passport next week".
I was guessing to make it to fly out in the first or second week of September. IF everything goes well from now on - after this ... grahhhh.... NOA2 will finally be here!  

The fee was for the DS-160 - I'm pretty sure its US$265 for everyone.

Woohoo!
 
So I've just completed and submitted my DS-160, paid the US$265 for the interview, and booked my medical (AU$655) for next week!
Just gotta wait for Sydney to receive the case so I can book the interview!!
 
So excited!!

Yes, they send an email to the petitioner when they are mailing the packet to the embassy. It contains the case number etc. I used that to create my account on http://cdn.ustraveldocs.com and from there paid my fee etc. Once they receive it I'll be able to use that same site to see my appointment. For the medical I just had to tell them that I had my case number.

Woohoo!

Yep, NVC emailed my fiancee last night with the case number. Calling them to harass really won't change anything so we just let it be. You get the email as soon as they send it on to the embassy either way, so you have the case number before it arrives in your country.

Woohoo!

My fiancee just received two emails from NVC - one with the case number saying the petition has been sent to Sydney, and one saying that our case has been expedited. No clue why!
