Try calling them now they received our petition last Nov 8 and they already gave me last night our case no. And our case is already in transit. They sent it out last Nov. 10. So i assume around Nov. 9 my case no. Is already created.

KandS17,

After waiting for 40 minutes I finally talked to a lady from NVC and she told me that a case number was given today to our approved I-129F approved petition. I am very happy about this. The lady told me that after processing there our case will be forwarded to Ho Chi Minh City.

It appears from my experience that approved I129F petitions are taking at minimum of three weeks before NVC acknowledges receipt and assigns a case number. I suggest to those who received a NOA2 less than three weeks ago to wait at least three weeks before calling NVC.

Cesar, good to know. Keep me updated on your whole process. My application should be received by the NVC next week, so I am curious as to the details of your journey since my fiancee is from Vietnam also. Would like to know when you'll be submitting the DS-160, when fees are paid and when you are scheduling the interview.

Hmm, I contacted my embassy and they said they hadn't received my petition yet, even though it's been "ready" for six days now...

How's your status now?

Was it not letting you schedule and interview? I though that was the whole purpose of showing the case ready? My fiancee will complete her DS-160 tomorrow and try to schedule her interview. She was able to pay her fees already.

No, the embassy in Stockholm doesn't allow to book an interview until they send the instructions ("packet 3"). I already did my DS-160, though.
