Put "N/A" in question 22 I-130

I misunderstood question 22 of form I-130 and put "N/A" in there, instead of the consulate's city and country where I will have my interview.

-> ("If your relative is not eligible for adjustment of status, he or she will apply for a visa abroad in the American consular post in:" )

When I found out about my mistake, I thought they'd either send me a RFE or they would approve my petition (status update "Decision") and then send me a letter asking about my consulate.

Now I got approved yesterday and my status says "Post Decision Activity".

Can I safely assume my mistake didn't play a role and they send it off to the NVC?

Or should I be proactive and inform them about my consulate?

Thanks in advance! :)

Disregard the previous post, it's incorrect.

Allow at least week for the file to be sent to the NVC, then call USCIS to see if it has been sent. If they answer that it has been sent, then start calling the NVC to see if it has been received and to see if a case number has been assigned.

NVC will usually go off the address of the beneficiary that is listed on the form. While you technically answered that question incorrectly, it is a mistake that is often overlooked.
