I got approved from USCIS on Mar 5 (NOA2) NVC received my case 1 week later. It took them another 15 working business days (excluding weekend) for me to received a case# numbers and IIN. After that It took another 4 days to get the online portal ready to accept payment. Basicly I just watied 1 month before I can even sent out any documents.
You need to exclude the weekend and only count working business days as NVC referring to 15 working days is minimum, it may take up to 20 or more depend on volume they received.
You may wonder why others got approved the same time as you but they already had their case# or IIN????. Well, just think of this way....USCIS ship out boxes and boxes of approval cases........so they are stack up high in a room at NVC awaiting for case workers to get to them, and since your file may be in one of those boxes way on the bottom, a case worker aren't able to get to them soon enough, at this time you just have to wait at this point. Where as others may get lucky their files is in the top boxes.

Sonjat and Recl12, I would call them every other 2 days and or talks to tier 2 supervisor, remember to stay calm and be nice at all time . I ran into similar issues but with other cases instead, after few calls was told to wait and wait.....but we keep calling and we found a very NICE lady as she put us on hold, I can hear her typing messages, mumbling away as she typing. It only took 1 week after from that call our case were clear as crystal. Most of operators trying to get you off the hook and don't bother to do S* (sorry for my language but true) so don't wait or sit around since your cases already way pass due. That's my 2 cents.

Whoa!!! that's a HUGE JUMP just for 1 month, from SNAIL processing to turbo booster they must be drinking Energy drink. Vermont is on competitive edge now, and YES, YES, YES once Vermont center took DACA load off their back time to rock & roll.
I read up about DACA which really BS and have higher priority over everything else by that mean they put our fellow Americans priority behind.

Hello all,
Due to long wait and our journey coming close each day I just wanted to share this link that may speed things up a little and to catch/make up the loss.

Ok! to be precise with volume on chart trends above. I downloaded the Excel version with human readable digit
According to the spreadsheet below it look like July completions rate is almost 80% done? where as June 2012 only 70% completed. Please tell me if I'm reading this wrong.
