Here is how it went for me :

- received text message and email on 1/23 : saying I-130 approved and a mail notice will be sent to me

- received another text and email on 1/24 : saying "post-decision" activity

- received mail notice (black/white paper) on 1/26 from filed office in San Antonio : saying my file was sent to NVC.

- received final mail notice from NBC (color official 797 notice) on 1/29

I kept calling NVC every day and as of 1/31 they still don't have my case "received" at NVC.

Hope this helps...

I think you're misreading the second email. I got one email saying approved, and then another that says this:

But I never got an email saying they mailed the approval to me...

So strange... My email did not say anything about sending to Department of State/NVC, it just said this:

Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity

On January 28, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

Well, I hope this means that they also mailed it to NVC (I guess I will just start calling next week in any case!). No hardcopy of NOA2 yet either, so hopefully that comes next week too. sld, let me know if you get any new emails (I will do the same) :)

Here is below what the email notification said. It seems everyone is getting different flavors, maybe processing center differences?

But, as also indicated, I also received a letter from local office saying I am approved but also indicating clearly (they checked one of several options in the choices in their letter) that my case was sent to NVC.

Wow, so many emails for the same notice! lol! Um what I think is that the first email is notice of your approval and the second one, if it says Post-Decision Activity means that they've sent the file to NVC (sometimes it says Dept of State, NVC is part of Dept of State). You can also check your case status on the uscis website, if it moves from approval to post decision activity it means they've sent the file.

Just called NVC, they received our file on 2/1/13, but they have not generated NVC# as of yet. They told me to call back in 15 business days, that means tomorrow right? At least its safe and sound in NH.

Yes, call back every single day until you get it.

Filed: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Country: Algeria

Hey all,

Would getting support from the state representative help the NVC and visa process.

I know people get support through I-130 process but I was wondering about NVC...

Thank you!
