Correct, c(9)

Thank u

You're welcome!
 
*editing typo from my response above - it's 4 months, not 6*

First step is to wait for the embassy in Algiers to receive your case from NVC.
 
Once that is done, they will send you email instructions on the next steps.
 
If you come to the point  (you're jumping ahead of yourself here and are a few steps behind) where you've scheduled the interview that falls after the expiration of the NOA2, you need to email the Algiers embassy and request an extension BEFORE it expires. In my case through this embassy, they required an updated notice of intent to marry that I scanned to them and they extended the NOA2 validity by 6 months.
 
Please feel free to message me if you have questions.

You can't put too much weight on what they say. You also can not compare your case with anyone else's - it will only cause you more and more upset each time you see others get approved who filed around you and probably many who filed after you. You just need to practice patience.
 
@Greenbaum and @Sarge2155 (and others!) are well versed in this process, I usually leaned on them for answers and stalked their answers to others in similar predicaments. This forum has much more education and guidance than any other avenue IMO.
 
There isn't anything you can do at this juncture other than to wait for the process to take its respective course. I am sorry that it's wearing on you. I know how you feel - you are close to waiting 5 months - many, MANY others have been in your shoes and waiting 4, 5, 6 X as long as you (including myself). It's all about perspective, which is subjective for everyone.
 
Fingers crossed for you.

You are waiting for adjudication to receive your NOA2 - re-read @Greenbaum's comment that the wait time from NOA2 to interview through that specific embassy is 2-3 months.

Take it from someone who is also trying to learn patience: comparison is a thief of joy.
 
 Many, many, many others were approved before us. We have no prior marriages, no dependents, no criminal background, etc. I thought our petition would be fast and simple.
 
We all willingly signed up for this process. Try to resist the urge to bug USCIS, especially if you are still within normal processing. 

@Ukrainian Queen
You can take that reply from @HTMW
To the bank as she knows the true meaning of heartache, anger and confusion. Take a look at her credentials (her timeline) then you'll see just how versed she is. I have been through similar heartache, but no where near hers. You'd do well to try and relax and realize it could be worse! YOU hold the key as to how this process is going to effect you. I do realize what you feel, but there is little you can do other than how you do the time!

RFE for letter of Intent to Marry with both of our signatures; original letter of Intent to Marry had only my signature (I’m the USC). All that wait for what turned out to be something so easily cured.
 
Our biggest hold up was that we were pending background checks for a over a year and a half.

Congratulations !!! What where the additional documents they asked for with the RFE and what did you submit initially.
