I've been out of touch with VJ since my NOA2 so I'm wondering: what is the current average waiting time between NOA2 and my petitioner receiving the NVC letter?

Thanks

It looks to be around 3 weeks on average from what I've seen. 4 weeks if you're waiting for the hard copy (for us anyways).

Wish I had a choice in date (I'd pick whatever is earliest) here the embassy decides...

I wish I could but it's impossible to leave my work right now. I'm hoping I can pick her up mid June if all goes as planned. As long as I see her when I wake up every morning I'll be the happiest man alive.

With a filing date of Feb 10 and still no NOA2, my fiancée and I are getting a little disappointed with the process and the waiting game. We are at day 95 since filing and wondering if, getting married and doing a CR-1, perhaps would had been a quicker way for us. Thank God we had a chance of seeing each other recently spending quality time together, however, the not knowing when we get approved is definitely killing us bringing our hopes down ???. I'd be nice to hear something, anything, from USCIS so we can move on with our lifes and plans to be together as family. Any other early February filer still waiting for approval and on the same boat as we? Please keep us in your prayers ?

On the other hand, is great to see so many consular interviews scheduled for the near future as well as several cases at the NVC stage, good luck to everyone!

We're still waiting to hear back from Montreal for our packet 3 (which we need to get packet 4.. so I can schedule the interview). Also waiting to hear back about their mistake for my name! I feel like this is where it'll get more frustrating. I just want to be able to get an interview date and not stress out about Montreal not having any openings up in the next couple of months. And maybe perhaps be able to stop freaking out about them mixing up my name, that'd be nice.
