How long does it take from NOA2 (approval) to interview stage at US Consulate in South Africa? 

Some people experienced that the package 3 was send after 2-3 weeks but they was never informed (some waited 3 months) , so I suggest you call the Sandton / Capetown embassy and just find out if they received the package from NVC.

Hi everyone in South Africa!  My fiancé and I are almost done in our process, she lives in South Africa and I live in the Seattle Washington area.  It took us 5 months to get our NOA2, so be prepared

I see that you are also a December filer. We are the 14th December still waiting for the NOA2. Hope we receive good news soon. I'm moving to Florida.

From which region are you in SA? I am in Potchefstroom. We are now on day 153 since the NOA1. It's a long exhausting journey. Well, welcome to the SA  group.

You got the NVC number ? Maybe you should ring the Sandton office. I know Wouter also waited a long time for package 3 and he called. After 5 min after he called  they send him the package 3. Some embassies can be slacky.
