Just got my NOA2!!! :dance:

It was really eerie but good......so last night I am sitting on my computer checking my case status on USCIS.gov as usual, moping around, feeling blue, cursing my luck, and then at 10:30pm I suddenly get an e-mail from USCIS saying my I-130 is approved! I look at my case status and it shows approval notice sent out. So I'm sitting there stunned :o and then "blink" I get another e-mail saying my I-129F also just got approved! I go back to my case status and there it is....just updated and showing as approved ...at 10:45pm at night!!! Respect.

Anyway, I called my wife and we did a little dance - her out there and me out here :) So, can anyone tell me (and I know there has been a lot of debate about this but little clarity) which process is going to happen next at NVC? Is it the K3 or the I-130? Do I get to pick? Which one is faster (Mumbai consulate)? I read the forum for about 4 hours last night trying to figue this out but couldn't. I have a lawyer so they will give me some input too but not before next week.

Hang in there folks....your approval is just around the corner.....!!! See my timelline below.
