We received our NOA2 hard copy on friday...And hadnt started calling NVC yet...

I am wondering,what if we dont call NVC?They'll have to give us the number anyways,right?

My husband doesnt visit this forum,and since he doesnt do it,he doesnt trust,the info i give him,about calling NVC,providing our e-mails...and stuff...so thats why i am asking,what happens if we dont call?Since i dont see any official info in their websites either....he wants to follow their rules,whatever they are.

Good to hear that. Hmm, I think they will contact you but it would take much longer than if you would proactively try to get information out of them. The NVC website says NOT to submit documents until they are requested, but everyone here advises to send them in as soon as the barcoded cover sheet is up.
