yea that's what i got a couple times before it finally went through

We tried to file an e-request a little after 5 months and they said it was too soon (which I knew but my impatience got the better of me!) LOL So we had to wait another 30 days to file again which took us into our 6th month of waiting. The standard reply we received was that our case file was with an officer pending consideration - which didn't give us much information. However, my friend who just went through this process last year said when your file is with an officer, you usually hear something within 2 weeks and in our case she was right! Nine days later we were approved and received our NOA2! Good luck to you moving forward!

Hey did you receive your NOA 2 in the mail yet?

Yes that's the normal reply you receive when you haven't waited 6 months to file because their average is 5 months and still considered not ONPT (Outside of Normal Processing Time). Let's hope you hear something soon!

No not yet and I'm wondering how long that takes? Anyone know when we should be expecting to receive our hard copy?

Yea, our PD is March 11. I am really nervous about this whole process. Waiting is terrible.

We were approved July 10, they mailed hard copy July 11 because I see the postmark. NVC scan date was July 21. Got case number August 6. Good luck! We are at a standstill. We mailed our AOS checklist on October 30 & they have yet to scan it in or say it's received. I'm sending a new one Wednesday. I can't stand all this waiting at the NVC, it's torture. broke down crying last week. Thought since we had our NVC case number in August we'd have an interview in November & we don't even have a CC. Yet another holiday apart from my husband.

No not yet and I'm wondering how long that takes? Anyone know when we should be expecting to receive our hard copy?

If you're PD is March 11, how come you don't hang out with us in the March filers' thread? Too cool for school? j/k

There's one other March filer waiting for approval. I hope you both get notices soon.

Hey guys, sorry I'm late but congrats on getting approved!!! Finally!! I know they changed their plans but I wonder if counicoune got her approval too?

I'm currently on vacation with my wife and limited internet access, but do let us know if you have any questions about the NVC part. You might or might not get another update from USCIS saying they shipped your case to NVC (I never got mine). You should be gathering all the documents needed and calling NVC in 2-3 weeks to see if they received your case (if you don't want to wait for the email with the case number... though you do need that email before you can do anything else). Good luck!!!

Edit: just saw the question, I think it should take about a week or so to get the NOA2 hard copy in the mail (in the US, not sure about overseas).

Well, we got NOA2 on Oct. 6th, NVC receive Nov. 5th. No case # yet, NVC told me today they are backlogged and do not expect to get one until late December. Last week when I called they said second week of December (well I guess the NVC virus got me, calling them in hope case # will get issued sooner than announced).
