I was able to enter my receipt number and check the status on the USCIS site a few hours after I got the email. No additional information on there yet, just that the case was received and to look out for the mailed NOA1. Am hoping that between when you posted this and now you've been able to view your case!

No. Unfortunately we can't access the case online. It doesn't recognize the case #. Hopefully by the next week we will be able to check it.

Our I-130 was approved! :dance:

We haven't received the NOA2 in the post, but I just checked our case status on the USCIS website and it says our case was approved. We received our electronic NOA1 on October 21, so it only took 22 days.

Hopefully you will all receive the same good news soon.

I haven't looked what's involved in the next steps, going to enjoy this happy feeling for another day and then start looking at the next round of paperwork....

Melaniec, can you let me know if/when you received your NOA2 by e-mail? Our case was approved Nov 3rd (I checked on USCIS website) but we still haven't received the email with NOA2. It's been 9 days. Is this normal?

From my understanding the email notification is only for the NOA1. We should now receive the paper NOA2 in the regular post. Have you received that yet?

Really? I had no idea. I thought they would send NOA2 by email as well. I'm pretty sure I saw it in VJ members timelines in signatures under their posts. Can anybody else confirm the information that NOA2 is not sent by email?

No, I haven't received the NOA2 by snail mail yet. But as it will be sent to Poland, it will take a bit longer to get delivered so I'm not worried yet.
