We got our NOA2 quickly. It took only 6 weeks.

My question is, and if you can shed some light here then thank you in advance, does the USCIS mail the approved petitions in batches? or individually?

Reason why I'm asking is i read somewhere that the petitions are sent in batches from the USCIS. Perhaps this is not true. But if true, may delay things in the case of a quickly approved NOA2?

Thank you and Good Luck to all of us.

Even if they send in batches it will not take much extra time.People have been waiting for the approval for more than 5 months.So be patient.

USCIS sends the approved petitions in batches. NVC says it can take up to 6wks for them to receive and assign your petition a case number, but many people here on VJ would suggest calling NVC at least once a week for the status of your case. Just be patient; it'll get there eventually ;)

Yes, I think you can expect to have a case number this week if that's the case. I would call everyday until you get one hehe.
