My husband sent it all on Aug. 7, 2013, via Collect Courier, and the woman guaranteed him, the visa office will receive it in 2 days (Aug. 9, 2013). They asked my husband to send:
Appendix A, NBI, Original NSO Advisory of Marriage, Written explanation from myself, Copy of my child's birth certificate, and Original Passort.

Any suggestions about what should I expect next?
