We got our petition approved 2/24/11. I called NVC and spoke with an operator and she said that they haven't received our petition yet and to follow up in 15 business days. Is this typical?

Mine was approved on 17th February. It took 2 business days to get to NVC. It took 7 business days to get Case Number assigned. It then took 2 two days for me to receive the AOS Fee.
