I-130 approved. Whats next?

[mrishohag 0]

I am a US citizen. My I-130 petition for my wife is approved on January, 6th after 135 days. What is next? I know now I have to deal with lot of things at the NVC. But where to start? Is there anything that my wife has to do at this point? What is choice of agent and how to start working with that? Who is going fill out the Choice of Agent form and what are those DS 260 and 261? Please let me know. I would really appreciate your answers.

Welcome and congratulations on your approval.

Those links have information about what's coming next. DS-261 is the form to choose an agent, the person to receive communication from NVC. That will be first. DS-260 is the online visa application form. That will be after you pay your fees.

Yes. Read the steps and see if you can proactively get yourself ready. You MAY still have few more weeks before your case gets enlisted at NVC and the portal becomes active for you but start getting prepared with all the documents you may need. Not only for NVC but for your wife's interview in BD as well. If you are ready with your documents you can really save months.

Yoi passed the most time consuming part where you have no control and the next parts will be partially dependent on what and how efficiently you are involved. Best wishes
