Hi everyone,

Today I got a notification from USCIS that my I-130 has been approved and the notice is in the mail. I am so happy. The receipt date of my application was October 10th 2012 so it took about three and a half month to get the approval.

I am now reading up on the NVC process. Looks like there is a lot of work now.

For the next step, what I got from the step by step guide was that now I will get an approval notice and then after a few weeks my spouse will get a packet of forms that my spouse and I need to fill out (My spouse is in India). Is that correct? What can I do in the meantime - can I have my wife start working on getting her police clearance certificate etc.?

please read the guides and jan nvc thread.

do not wait for forms.

The DCF petitions are treated very differently. From all indications those of us residing in non-DCF countries are remaining at NBC to be processed.

I read people getting approved within a few days from the RFE...

Once you get RFE in my sense it means they drilled down your file and found only 1 issue to approve you, so when you send it they consider it complete and approve :-)
