NOA2 ( Petition) approved ....I feel relieved... it is understatement!!!

My NOA1 date was April 13, 2011.

Congratulations, after your NOA2 is approved and sent to india is where it can get tricky a bit. First of all the embassies over there say they send the benificary packet 3 but it never gets there, usually a day after the embassy recieves the NOA2 they send packet 3 but it never gets delivered (especially the new delhi embassy), if you want to know when the embassy receives your NOA2 call Department of State at 202-663-1225 press option 1 then 0. For packet 3 all you need to do is download ds 230 part 1 and 2, fill it out and email it back to the embassy as an attachment, you can scan it on to your pc and email it, that email address is infousdelhi@vfshelpline.com, in the subject line put pakcket 3 along with your case number and send it to them, then keep calling Depatment of state and asking them if they scheduled an interview date, they will tell you, also in your email to the embassy regarding packet 3, ask them to email you packet 4 and send a physical copy to the required address.
