We received our NOA2 letter on March 4 but the stated notice date was Feb 27. We'll just wait in a few weeks and then call them.

 

Thanks for the suggestion tho :) Congrats again 😉

We filed our packet 3 yesterday and got packet 4 in 2hours!

Now our medical is booked and our appointment!

I do have one question. I selected/paid to have premium passport/document delivery after the interview, but there was little/no info as to how much sooner this got me my documents. Does anyone have any feedback/info? Haven't been able to find anything.

Yea tried calling but all the woman at uscis would say was please allow 4-6 weeks for arrival at the NVC seems like I always fall into the maximum wait times this entire process

I  feel in the same way....

 

My case has not arrived to NVC yet. I called USCIS a couple days ago and they told me my case has not shipped yet. I  called USCIS today and asked to talked to the highest person I  can talk to, I'm waiting for them to call me back.

 

There is not justification this can take so long...

So happy to see so many people finally being able to book their interviews ! <3

 

I got my paper copy NOA2 on the February 16th (was approved the 10th), and still waiting to get any sort of comformation from NVC. It's driving me a little crazy haha I am only home two-three days a week since I work as a flight attendant, so I keep getting worried that I'm wasting precious time only to come home and see that I haven't recieved a letter yet. Hopefully we hear something back soon! My fiance has already started getting his papers sorted for the Police Certificate and other documents so as soon as we get the go ahead, we're ready to go.

Have you tried calling NVC? Their customer service has pretty flexible hours (7am - midnight EST). :) 

 

Also, if USPS informed delivery is available in your area, it will help with the "did it come in the mail today" stress. Plus it's free! https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action

I've seen a few people say that when they called they were told it takes 4-6 weeks, so I haven't yet. I may do that today.

And I just signed up for that, it's such a useful tool ! thank you so much. unfortunately it says I have no mail on its way .... ): this is probably going to take the max amount of time ugh

NOA2 : Feb 21

I just received a call back from a Sup. At USCIS. She told me that my case is "in transit " to NVC since last Monday. I  told the lady that I called  couple days ago and I  was told that my case was still in USCIS... she reassured to me that her system shows my case "in transit" and NVC should receive it at the beginning of next week..... I  will call NVC  tonight...
