It won't ever say 'accepted'. It just stays as 'complete'. The only way to know if it was accepted is either through the AVR, an operator tells you, or the IV bill appears.

I have a question for the others on here that got their interview dates this week when they called; did you all get your packet 4 already? My hubby and I haven't gotten ours yet, and I don't want to book our flights for the interview until I get it, just in case the nvc human gave me the wrong date.

And I haven't seen/noticed any posts by saleem or wade lately

Hi everyone!

It's nice to finally join this thread, we got our NOA2 a few days ago and are very excited to move along with the NVC process.

Hope everyone else is moving along smoothly :)

I phoned up the NVC on Tuesday, and I was given the interview date over the telephone. I then received my packet 4 email two days later on the 14th.

The operators say 4-6 weeks, but it's usually a week or two after your NOA2 date. Get used to ridiculous time frames by operators. Just keep calling each day till you get your number. ;)

You should try calling an operator. Don't depend on the AVR as it's usually delayed by a day or two (or even more). Your best bet for getting your case number is through an operator.
