We were very fortunate in that our I-130 was approved on Monday according to email. Still waiting on hard copy from USCIS. How long should it take for our petition to arrive at NVC and be acknowledged?

February 10, 2014 -- NOA2

Our I-130 and 1-129F were both approved by USCIS on Jan 9. Still no response from NVC as of today Feb 13. I did send an email to the NVC to register my email address for updates etc. That was on Jan14. 10 days later on Jan24, I got an email back from them stating they had "recently received my case" and would contact me within 30 days. They seem to keep pushing out that start of the 30 days point.

We were approved Dec.24th and reached NVC on Jan.10th. Twenty three business days after NVC received our file and still no number.Take a breath and do not believe all that you might read that your wait is over and that things are now fast and furious, they are not. Just more waiting

Thanks for your input. We are taking a deep breath and waiting, but given the lightning speed through USCIS, it raises hopes. Once we receive our MCN, would it be advisable to email for an expedite?
