Hello all,

SO i-130 was approved about 2 weeks ago. I have started to call NVC since last week to get the case/invoice number. Wife just moved to new address also. When/how should i update her new address? I believe NVC sends a notice to both parties after they receive the i-130 approval? Thanks

No, NVC doesn't contact you telling you they've received the file. You have to call NVC daily to make sure they've received it, and about two weeks after it's been received they'll assign your case numbers. Wait until your case numbers are assigned, and then update the address over the phone.

Muba, NVC will contact you once they receive your approved I-130 from USCIS and ask you to submit a DS-3032, I-864 and all that. oohpartiv is not correct on that point.

However, it best practice for you to call NVC finding out the status of your file, rather than waiting for them to contact you.

No, sorry, you are not correct on this. Unless the OP filed a G1145 with their original I-130 petition, NVC has no way of contacting them, unless OP plans on waiting the weeks it would take to get a possible snail mail response. The only way to get things moving and get email correspondence happening is to call NVC, confirm that the documents have been received (which would be wise, considering the colossal amount of problems field offices have been having getting approved petitions sent out after NOA2s), and call a week or so later to get your case numbers and give the rep your email addresses.

OP, do not sit around and wait for NVC to send you any snail mail. Be proactive, and get to calling. Here's a guide you can read up on, just in case you have some doubts.
