Yay! I hope you can be happy about the approval. About one week after my approval notice, I got another notice from USCIS that my case was mailed to the Department of State/National Visa Center. The NVC probably won't send you anything when they receive your case. One week after I got the notice that it was mailed, I called the NVC, and they told me they haven't received it. I called again one week later and the woman told me they received it the day before (so about two weeks after it was mailed, 3 weeks after I-130 approval). That woman also gave me a case number and invoice number. You can enter that information on the Department of State website and continue with the rest of your forms and fees once they're ready. Begin collecting your financial and supporting documents NOW, and be ready to send those in when the fees are paid. I can't tell you how long it will take from here. 2-3 months at NVC?
