Sounds like the petition has been approved! The NVC wouldn't have your case yet and be asking for fees yet if it weren't. I would want to make sure that your address on file with the NVC is correct, or use a different one if mail delivery in your area is unreliable. This was the case for me, my mail carriers where I lived in the US really couldn't handle even simple addresses like mine and frequently lost stuff so I used a family members' to ensure that I got all notices and correspondence during the immigration process. You don't absolutely need the NOA2, your case will progress whether you've received it or not. But I definitely wanted my copy for my records and actually needed it again recently (but our case is crazy, this wouldn't happen to you). Hopefully the paper notice arrives in the mail soon!

P.S. This is in the K1 Fiance section but I think you're talking about a CR1/IR1 visa, right?

Long story short, we have a complicated case. We've been at this for nearly 5 years. You can read our story here. I highly recommend our attorney Laurel Scott, as well as attorneys Laura Fernandez and Lizz Cannon .

Filed I-130 via CSC in Feb 2008. Petition approved June 2008. Consular interview in Mexico, Oct 2008, visa denied, INA 212a6cii. We allege improper application of the law in this case.

2012, started over in Seoul: I-130 filed DCF on 7/2, I-130 approved 8/8, Medical at Yonsei Severance 11/20, IR1 appointment in November 2012.

CRBA filed 1-3-13 at Seoul for our daughter

Hi,

I filed I-130 for my husband and haven't receive the 2 NOA yet from USCIS. However I received an email from NVC yesterday stating the fees I need to pay for AOS and IV. Does this mean my petition was approved or do I still need to wait for the 2 NOA? Thanks

Congratulations! If those fee bill emails all came in the same day, you can thank the fella that signed the G-28.

Since you didn't receive that second I-797C, the approval notice, you need to get on that fella that signed the G-28, and complain a lot.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Sounds like your case has been approved and now you are into NVC process!

You can go to https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/login.jsp login and verify when your I-130 was approved. :thumbs:

Now you will need to call NVC to get your case # and continue with process at NVC

GOOD LUCK!!!
