So what is the process after my I-130 is approved. I just found out by phone that it was Approved. No hard copy of NOA2 yet and USCIS status site still says "Initial review". So few questions comes to mind :

1. How long after approval will I get my NOA 2 or the status iste will be updated

2. How long after NOA2 will I hear from NVC, are they going to send me separate mail?

Thanks,

Gagan

1. How long after approval will I get my NOA 2 or the status iste will be updated

- Sometimes between 6-10 days.

2. How long after NOA2 will I hear from NVC, are they going to send me separate mail?

-Within 1-2 weeks from your approval NVC should receive your case from USCIS. Call NVC AVR # 603-334-0700 and check if they received your case and assign you the case no. After they assign you a case no. call NVC and speak to a human and give them your email address they will send you the form via email.

My wife will kill me if I don't go. Originally the way things were going at USCIS, I thought NVC process won't start until I come back which is in OCT. Tickets are already paid for and vacation approved, so don't have too many options now.
