We turned in our I-130 on the 19th of April, we have not heard anything since then. Other people who did DCF through Tokyo, how long was it before you got your packet from the embassy with info about the medical and the police background check? They said everything looked to be in order, but it has been five weeks, should I start worrying?

It took only 7 days for us.

I am guessing the process is slow because there was the Golden Week this month.
