Congratulations :thumbs:

IS this a spouse or fiance visa? Either way you still need to go through the NVC in order to get an interview date . If you filed an I-130 it looks like you have a CR1 petition which makes it impossible to have an interview date assigned and skip NVC alltogather.If you did not get your NOA1 you should have deffinitly received the NOA2 ( text,email and/or hard copy)

Good Luck

That doesnt sound right. USCIS is notorious for sending the wrong emails or getting other case numbers mixed up. I would call them and give them your case number to be sure. If you sent in your case to USCIS a few weeks ago then that does not look like an approval notice for an I-130.

Sorry, but there is something wrong. It looks like you skipped at least 2 steps in the process, which is not possible for an IR1/CR1...or is there some other kind of visa begins with an I-130 petition that completely skips NVC?

Well after the OP "clarified" what it actually was, it makes a little more sense. But in your years of experience, does that look like a USCIS I-130 petition approval?

Moving to DCF forum. No idea why OP would tease regular I-130 filers with a fast approval. It is DCF after all.
