Well you have just entered your part of life where you have to "wait". From here the wait starts. Then on you will wait for everything! They do it pretty slow. But they will definitely do it.

Wait for it to appear online....(it might appear online with an earlier date)
Wait for the NORIs to be sent to the DOS (if your case is NORI)
Wait for them to update it online
Wait for getting favourable recommendation
Wait for many more.....


I have waited for long and still waiting to get favourable recommendation.

All the best.

notice how long they took to post it online. I actually saw that

Mar 13, 2007 - Received letter from Indian Embassy in D. C. dated 6th March

Mar 21, 2007 - Got J1 extension uptil June 2008
Mar 21, 2007 - Sent the new DS-2019 to waiver review division as additional documentation.

It depends on how many applications they got. Sometimes it takes 1 week to see it online, sometimes it takes 6 weeks..... Mine took over 4 weeks to appear online (in Feb 07). Just be patient
