April and May Filers - NOA2 to NVC

How long is average timing to receive the hard copy of NOA2? I was approved on October 29 and did not receive my hard copy during the week. I also never received a confirmation E-mail, but my online case status shows approved on October 29.

Usually it's within 7 days after a case is approved. From following the VJ members here I've seen in some cases that a few did not receive their NOA2 hard copies so they ended up calling USCIS to try and get a replacement copy. USCIS will give you the "it can take up to 30-45 days" speech and ask you to call back after the 45 days mark. In some cases, they will tell you that it's going to cost you $ to get another copy. I don't remember the exact price, but I know it was insanely rediculous. I hope you will receive your NOA2 soon in the mail.

I called today also and was given the same 90 days speech. The lady seemed like she was getting ready to snap on me so I did not ask her any additional questions. :wacko:

I just called CSC, was on hold nearly 10 min...and it's still in the staging area. Spoke to a very nice lady who took my name and telephone number and gave me her name as well, and said she'd email them to find out why mine was still sitting there and would try to call me back with any info.

We'll see if I actually hear from her. Fingers, eyes and legs crossed again that it goes out soon! :wacko:

OMG the horror is over! (at least for this step, I'm sure there will be issues later because nothing in this whole process has gone smooth yet)

Anyway, I just called NVC, and after I gave them my WAC number, instead of the operator repeating it back to me like they have always done, he started asking questions! So I knew they had it! :blush: I was so surprised and excited and relieved and giddy that I almost didn't remember Liberty's birthday when he asked :lol:

It looks like I'm another one that came in on the Nov. 2nd truck. He said they got it Friday. Gave me my MNL number and that was it! C'mon USE give us a quick interview date pleeeeeeease B)

To those of you still waiting.... hang in there, I thought this day would never come.
