It took 3 weeks.

But I am not sure of the exact date when NVC forwarded the petition. They just mentioned "recently", maybe it was sent last week... who knows. I just wished I would have emailed them earlier!!

Email them and find out, enamorados!

My approval notice is also dated from the September 18th, and I also got the same response when calling the NVC as you when speaking to a live person. I'm planning on emailing the NVS this coming Wed and see what I get back as a response.

Hopefully the rest of us who got approved around Sept 18th that are approvals were sent from the CSC earlier this week when the CSC sent a huge amount approvals to the NVS.

kzsupra1: did you find the info on VJ about tracking the DHL package? It works! Once you have the date the NVC mailed the petition you can track it easily on DHL's website and then have a good idea of when to call the embassy.

Good luck and congrats!

What packet? I thought NVC sends the packet to the US Consulate in your beneficiary's country. What packet does your beneficiary receive from NVC directly? This is news to me. I thought only the US Consulate/Embassy would send any packets to the beneficiary.
