Silene after NOA2...

[Chrissie 2]

Hi everyone!

We got approved on October 31st and that gave us an immense boost of confidence and happiness in this long journey. However, we haven't heard anything since then. Maybe there's no need for me to worry, but I checked Igor's list and many couples that were approved around or even after our date have gotten responses and even interview dates!

From what I've seen here the craziest things can happen, including getting package 3 out of the blue and stuff like that... But still. I sent an email to the NVC this morning, does anyone know whether that takes a long time? What do they tell you if you call the NVC, and what would be the right times to do so?

Thanks!

Call the NVC and get the new case number.

I second Celeste's suggestion to call the NVC and inquire about your case. It's faster than e-mails - when we sent them an e-mail in September, it took them two weeks to get back to us. However, it's been less than three weeks since you have received your NOA2, so I bet everything is fine. For us, it took the NVC more than three weeks after NOA2 to send my fiancé the letter stating that they have sent our petition on to the consulate, and I didn't get my Packet 3 until over a month after NOA2.

Thanks everyone, I'll get my fiance to call the NVC today. We'll wait some more! Luckily I'm visiting him next week

I called NVC exactly 7 days after we got approved (Oct 29)..I called around 1:40pm, I had 3 tries and waited for about 25 minutes until an agent answered my call. He asked for both our names, date of birth, NOA1 Receipt Number, and email address. He also told me that they received our papers the day before I called. So I think you should be good, call NVC today and also it takes 15 days for them to respond on emails.
