Hello!

For those of you who have already gone through this, or for those of you who might now, I urgently need your help to know the following:

I have filed my I-130. Once I receive the instructions for step 2 (which I imagine is I-864 / DS-230 / etc.), how much time do I have to file for step 2?

I have read in some places that you have up to 1 year to use your approved I-130 which is, in essence, the permission to file for a IR-1/CR-1. Is that right?

Any pointers will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
