You should received approval letter within couple weeks. But your file to get transferred to NVC might take upto 8 weeks but for some people it takes 15 days. It's all depends on which USCIS branch is transferring that file. For example, In my case it took around 1 month for file to be received by NVC but for some other people with similar situation they got their file to NVC within 15 days.

my husband filed my i-130 at chicago... it takes almost about 2 months before we receive the receipt number.... and now we are wondering as to what we need to do.. if we need to call the uscis ... but for now we decide to wait for a while.... hopefully he can receive it soon ....thanks for taking time to reply me

Just get receipt number from USCIS that's on NOA2 I-797 Notice of Action letter and start calling NVC to check if they received your file or not?

Best of Luck!!
