Hi,

That happened to us as well. I got the email for my petition, my husband got the email for my daughter's petition but we never got email confirmation of my son's petition. We did receive them via regular postal mail some weeks after. NVC confirmed via telephone that they rec'd all 3 petitions. :thumbs:

Ok because they did receive our AOS & IV packet I did call and confirm with NVC. :)

Part of the timetable NVC has full control and the other part you do.

If you are not prepared with your documentation, ( Seems to me that is your case), you will delay yourself and NVC does not care or pressure you about it.

In a nut shell:

From NOA2 to case NVC case number, aprox. 40 days.

From case number through DS-261, AOS and IV fees, AOS/IV packages to scan date depends on you. Some people do it in 10 days, some take 3 months.

After Scan date NVC has full control unless you made mistakes and they send you a checklist.

Good luck
