HI Guys :) :) :)

I was approved Feb 11 and few hours ago i received an email from USCIS stating " On feb 16, 2011, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Dept of State for visa........

My question is for those who received this email before me and got their NVC number, how many days before u had your NVC number from the time of this email?

Also i think XELANCE also got this today (feb 16), when do you expect to call NVC and have your NVC number?

Thanks guys...I'll just read your messages later when i got home :) :) :)

Hi eveyone finally after three months recieved an update to my case. On Nov. 23 we were approved for our I 130 petition and have been waiting for TSC to send our approved case to NVC. But now tonight I get an e-mail

*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL ***

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: WACxxxxxxxxx

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity

On February 16, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

So does anyone know what happens now?????? I am confused as to what happened to the I 130 petition and are we now being processed under the I 129f even tho we have been married almosst 5 years

I think it has to do with the fact that my hardcopy NOA2 was returned to TSC by the post office as "undeliverable" for some stupid reason.

I received the email on 02/08, and case number generated on 02/11. Things move quickly at NVC. I just received an email (on my wife's account) stating that NVC had received and accepted the DS-3032. I used the email template found here on VJ, and it worked!! I have access to my wife's email, and I sent the DS-3032 on 02/12 right after I received the case number from the phone robot.
