Unfortunately guys I think we were all very very spoiled by seeing a few early approvals. We should be more realistic here and expect a 5 month wait period.. It has already been a month since my NOA1

You need to know how your Embassy works, but from what I've seen, in countries where the mail system works well, the Embassies do send out Packet 3. Look for reviews/posts regarding your specific Embassy to see how it's done.

In the meantime, the US citizen can start gathering the necessary documents to send to the beneficiary, the Affidavit of Support, etc.

02/14/2014 - Case shipped to Embassy, where it waited for over a year at my request                                 11/07/2015 - AOS approved (EAD and AP had already been approved) - there was no interview

05/21/2015 - Interview - Approved

06/19/2015 - Wedding (L) 

                                                                                                                                                                      

The ROC journey:                                                                                                                         

10/12/2017 - ROC packet mailed to VSC

01/21/2019 - ROC Approved - there was no interview

 

The N-400 journey:

NVC received my case and case number is assigned on Feb 11, 2014.

How would I know that case has been forwarded to US Embassy,

We have not received any mail/email from US Embassy or Consulate in India.

Once I received the case number from NVC, I started checking the CEAC website often. One day, the status changed from "At NVC" to "In Transit". That's when I found out it had been shipped to the Embassy.
