I had to do some digging around the forum, but I found a trend with what others at Nebraska were experiencing after following many timelines and going through a lot of threads. Following those profiles, you can see that going back a few months there is a trend of about 2 weeks between batches. 

 

I was also analyzing a lot of receipt numbers last month, right before my I-130 was approved, by plugging in the receipt numbers on the USCIS website. The site tells you the date the cases were sent to NVC, and I noticed that many were sent on the same day, at 2 weeks before the date my case was then subsequently sent. So following the trend, they should be sending another batch of approved petitions out this Friday.

Do you have your case number yet?

Thanks for making a continuation.    We got our NOA1 on October 13th. My husband is from Uganda. Up to now, we haven't heard anything. I just hope they are at least doing SOMETHING with it!

Hopefully mine will be approved by Thursday, so my case will be remmited the next day.

It is best to prepare the documents as early as possible. I dont think you can really jump the gun with your preparation. You dont want to be waiting on documents when NVC is ready to receive them, obviously, since it makes the already long wait even longer. You are right about certain documents becoming too old though, so prepare everything else that doesnt expire. The only document I held off on until the last few weeks before I was approved was the background check, since I wanted to make sure it would still be current.

That's probably the one I was most concerned about, I'm just waiting for this years taxes since I shouldn't get NOA2 till July

Thanks for your feedback.
