When you say no updates, what exactly do you mean? Did you get a notification his petition was received (commonly called NOA1)? Was his check cashed?

No NOA 1? NOA 1 is just an acknowledgement of your petition being received. I sent my I-130 petition on 23rd oct, 2010 and got NOA 1 on 30th oct. Visa got approved aka NOA 2 on 13th april and simultaneously correspondence with NVC began. Interview now scheduled on 18th oct. Something is wrong with your situation. Seriously look into it.

Visa got approved aka NOA 2 on 13th april and simultaneously correspondence with NVC began.

That's not a correct statement, the petition was approved, the visa is still pending because you haven't interviewed yet.

There is no way they could tell you the case was processing if there was no NOA1, because you wouldn't have a case number to ask about.
