I-130 approved but no I-797

[EG3R 3]

My I-130 has been approved after only one month, but we haven't received and documents in the mail. We were expecting the I-797 receipt notice, but that did not arrive.

The timeline is:

Dec 29: I-130 received at Chicago lockbox and forwarded to California processing center. The message said to expect the receipt notice in the mail by Jan 28.

Jan 27: I-130 approved.

I'm really happy that the I-130 was approved so quickly, but I'm concerned that I haven't received any mail from USCIS. I indicated that my parents' address should be used as our mailing address, but I'm afraid there's a mix-up. I've called USCIS several times asking about the missing notice, but they say that I need to contact the National Visa Center now that the I-130 is approved.

What will happen if I never receive the I-130 approval notice in the mail? What steps can I take to fix this?

The NOA2 doesnt matter.

Does the USCIS status page shows you have been approved?

If yes, do not worry about it.

Start calling NVC nest week asking for a case and invoice numbers.

Good luck

I thought there was important information on the NOA2, such as the A number. Is the NOA2 really unnecessary?

Really for this visa class it doesnt matter. If you were K1 it would but not this visa class.
