My I-130 Petition was approved on New Year's Eve. This is truly the best feeling ever. I can finally breathe hehe. Now onto the next step. Could anyone tell me what the next step is? Happy New Year to all! =)

On December 31, 2012, your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was approved. You will be notified of the decision by mail. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case, including when the approval notice is mailed. If you do not receive the approval notice within 30 days, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance.

During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision.

Thank you Treva :) Yes I will be sure to let you know what it says on the postmark. I'm sure it's a local office from NY since that's where I live. However I will let you know for sure. How is the visa process going on your end? Any news as of yet from them?

Thank you all for the congratz!!!! Best of luck to everyone =)))

No, I haven't heard anything since August... but I'm feeling like January is going to be our month (me, Memphis, and Abezyo, too)! Thanks for giving us the encouragement, and wishing you a speedy NVC process! :)
