Hi guys! We filed on July also. We got approved October 15, October 18 our case was sent to NVC, October 25 our case was forwarded here in Hong Kong. I checked the online visa checker it says READY and that our case was updated November 1,2013.. What to expect next? I'm so anxious! sad.png

Yeah, we had the same thing. Approved Oct. 1, sent to Paris Oct. 18, and we got the 'READY' status on October 23. It depends on the embassy, but we received Packet 3 about 2 weeks later - though most people in France had to wait about a month. I suggest you check out some other timelines from Hong Kong to get a better idea of the general wait time.

If you click on someone's timeline, you'll see the option to "Show similar timelines." So, what I did, was a found some forums with French filers, checked out their timelines to get a better idea of our wait time/process, and "showed similar timelines" to see what the norm was.
