After your I-130 is approved, you will wait for about 4 to 6 weeks for the NVC to process the approval. Then you can expect an email requesting that you select an agent (person/lawyer to contact). Once that has processed a few days later, the NVC will request payment, visa form, affidavits of support, ect. Congrats on the

I-130 approval.

How do you check you case status online? I have also recently recieved an I-130 approval notice via email and am not sure about what to do next. I see that the guy who posted after you said to wait for an additional e-mail but if possible I'd like to continually check the status of things online as I had to wait 58 days for my I-130 approval and want to stay alert to make sure the rest of this process goes as smoothly and quickly as possible.

timeline in layman's terms:

Submitted I-130 (in person) - September 16th, 2014

I-130 Approved - November 12th, 2014

Received an e-mail prompting me and my wife to complete form DS-260 and submit some documents to a bank (NOA2?) - November 28th, 2014

Submitted documents to bank - December 4th, 2014

Received an e-mail instructing me and my wife to schedule an interview appointment - December 18th, 2014

On your NOA1? I applied in person (DCF) so never received an official NOA1. I don't even think I have a "receipt number" (The number I have on my receipt is just an 8 digit transaction number).

Submitted I-130 (in person) - September 16th, 2014

The exact wording is: On November 13 2014 your application was sent to the department of state for visa processing.
