you just have to wait maybe in a couple of days...if you get too anxious you can call NVC hotline 16033340700 to check your status...there's an AVR that tells your case status... if its already received or if they had already assigned NVC case number and after a few days it will also tell you if AOS Bill & DS3032 has been generated and sent...it will not take so long i believe...;)

Hi, thanks for your information.. If I/my hubby call NVC, do we need to tell them our USCIS case #? Thanks..

yes...they'll ask for your USCIS case #

good luck!

Congratulations to the speedy approval. We are getting married in May and I will send the petition soon after that. Hopefully we will get the same speedy approval/process as well. Good to hear that it's processing much faster now. Best wishes to the rest of your journey!
