So I was bored at work today and decided to call again (you usually have to hang up and dial 3-5 times before you actually get through because it's always a busy signal, ..and then be prepared to wait around 20 min after you do get through but I digress), and I gave our case number to the woman I spoke with. She asked me if my letter said that my case was forwarded to NVC and I told her that it says it's been forwarded to the consulate. Her response: oh well then it's been mailed to the consulate! LOL ok lady, I was like, the gentleman I spoke with last night told me that the NVC has simply not received/entered in the system our case yet..and she was like oo well then that's what it is. Just funny you get a different answer depending on who you talk to and some of these people seem like they have no clue what their job entails

Thank you for your update:) I finally got through to the NVC, and after the long long wait...I was asked for the case number, and of course...it isn't in their system yet! It's only been 9 days since I got the hard copy approval, and they said it takes 14 to 15 days...so VJ is exactly correct about waiting 14 days to call them...other sites say you can call as soon as NOA2 is rec'd....and of course you can, but it's a waste LOL....When was your NOA 2 approval?

Have a great day!!!!

I'm on day 10, and expect to hear from them in 4 more days:) so I have no case number yet

I just called them today and received my case number. You should try to call them again to find out. My NOA2 was issued on 05/31/13.

I tried again today and still not in their system yet, so I will try again Monday. At least this call, I didn't have to wait 20minutes:) to speak with someone! My date was June 3rd, 3 days different than yours, so I am really hopeful Monday will be the BIG day:)
