Take heart (easy for me to say, I know), but today is Wednesday and they usually have a good last 3 days of the week. And with SO much good news today, and 2 days left this week - perhaps there's even more action just around the corner!

I will keep thinking good thoughts your way!

Thanks TimsDaisy... OBTW it's Thusday. And thank you too, Jake and Ali!

Have you called them yet?

Yeah -- I called on Monday. Spoke to a person who told me since it was only two weeks since I was approved, to wait another two weeks and call again.

I have a thread in the "Foreign Embassy and Consulate General Discussion" forum asking other recent CSCers if they've moved on to the NVC yet. Maybe I should bump it.

I've seen many people take less than a month to get into and out of NVC lately, so I would just keep on them and see if you can catch it as it leaves.

we got our approval emailed to us today (ie, NOA2)!!!! :dance:

called my fiance as soon as i saw the email (about 1pm for me, MST) and he was just as excited as i was. i know it varies for everyone depending on where they live, but approximately how long from the time the NOA2 is sent out to the time the packet is received from the consulate (for the medical, etc)? i'm planning to go to wichita about may 17 for a couple weeks, and i'm thinking my packet will be arriving sometime while i'm gone...

good luck to those who haven't received their NOA2 yet! i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you :)
