Usual Wait Times after DS-230 packet sent?

[peteycosta 0]

Buenos Aires, Argentina Embassy... We had our I-130 interview which was approved on Monday, February 22nd. We had all the papers for "packet 3" (I believe we call it here on the forum) ready. Embassy received it that friday through mail. It´s been 1 week...we had to email asking a question about the medical and I threw in a mercy plea of "please tell us whats going on!" haha, they seem like they are pretty dry when it comes to answer because I seem to have gotten the same answer twice now of.. once we receive the papers and have them checked over we will set you up for an interview. I can understand the lack of info though... but Anybody have any ideas how long you have to wait. We all know the suspense part of the process probably so if anybody has any details that would be definitely a relief for me and my 'about to be attacked by ulcers' stomach. Thank you!

Some people have to wait only a week and I have heard of others waiting up to a month. The embassies don't tend to like too many emails asking about your case. It also depends on how many applications they are processing. We heard back in just over a week.

I would wait a month and then email again. Hopefully someone that has experience from your Embassy can be more helpful.

Thank you! For you was it a formal letter through the mail, or did they just send you a notice through e-mail? Thanks again!
