I just sent the I-130 package to the USCIS in Chicago for my spouse who is the benificary and she lives in France. we have been married for over 2 years. What should I do at this point in time so I can be ready for the next step?

I will research a little more but so far I am not really sure what to do.

I suggest you read the LingChe NVC shortcut guide here on VJ. When USCIS approves your I-130 petition, it will pass on your paperwork to the National Visa Center. There you must pay fees and submit proof of financial support (the Affidavit of Support package) and your spouse must submit her immigrant visa application. If you want your time in NVC to be brief, you should try and get some of the required documents early (those that aren't time-sensitive), or at least verify you can get them without a problem.

Also make sure you have copies of EVERYTHING you've sent and will send.

Since you've been married over 2 years, that means your wife will get an IR-1 visa if granted. No need to remove conditions when she gets to the US.

Good luck!
