Can anyone who filed an I-130 tell me how long the NVC portion

takes. We were approved by the USCIS on November 4th.

Case to case basis...Depends on how fast u can get the NVC case number and Invoice number which u are going to use to pay the fees..Once you got those numbers and paid the bills, it will also depend on the submitted paperworks at NVC whether all are complete and sufficient and u won't get a checklist..

Be Proactive...read this guide
