I think this bit all depends on you!! But make sure you get the paperwork all ready and medical booked in so you can book your interview sooner than later. When I booked in early Jan, there was availability throughout Jan, but I booked it towards the end of Jan so we had time to gather paperwork + schedule medical 

Once shipped to the embassy you can schedule the interview. Usually 2-3 weeks later. Just make sure to do the medical first at least five days before the interview. 

Next step is the USCIS sends your case to the NVC. Usually takes anywhere from 2-6 weeks (ours took 3 weeks). You can call them and ask for to see if it has arrived and get the case number. Once they assign it a case number it will be shipped off to the embassy shortly after (which is done twice a month).

This brings me so much hope! Huge congratulations!!
my NOA2 (is that the one where the I-797 has been approved? I get confused with the jargon) came through in mid-December. But still not heard anything further... but also spiralling because I’m trying to find out how long it takes for the next step? Thank you so much, looking forward to hearing ❣️
