Service center is Nebraska. Initially I applied for my case to get expedite because I am currently serving in the military and Im in a deployment band. They declined my request on March. Then I tried to call USCIS and got surprised when I heard that they already approved my I-130.

it adjudicated already venice. They are processing now your case. it case to case basis. When your husband filed the I-130?

In my case, since we got our hard copy of NOA1, uscis system doesn't recognized my receipt number. But when I check it earlier, it was approved already. my case didn't show as received.

exactly!... it didn't show up as Received since i got NOA1. But when I checked it earlier, it was approved already. It means they updated my case in their system. well in your case, I think it's too early to check if it's approved already. But you can check it as long as you want.
