Thankyou Karim, you are so much of an help. So basically we should call them after a month?

And secondly is there any chance you change your address after i-130 approval with nvc? And during nvc can they send information through emails?

If you change you address after filing your I-130, you should call them and update your address. To my knowledge most, if not all NVC communication is done via email, but I'm not 100% sure, so maybe someone on this site can confirm.

Did anyone else get alerts about an update in your case yesterday? My wife was notified by e-mail that there was an update in our case yesterday. We have checked multiple times, but there is nothing new, and yesterday, the system shut down, so for quite a while, we could not even get access to the website. It still says "My case was received..."

Finally got approved today. Just checked the case tracker app and it was approved.

Nothing yet, I'm going to keep on trying. Might wait until the end of the business in the US -- for all their timezones -- and then try again.

Case number received via email, using the email addresses enter on the I-130.

 

I kept calling the NVC to confirm/ask if my case had been received by them from USCIS.

Find threads for your country or try facebook, thats how I found out which appointments were being assigned and for which dates (case closed date)

Hello! Congrats! What’s your PD? and service center?

[realmadrid23 18]

Hi i can see online that my case was sent to NVC in mid july, its almost a month now,. should we call nvc to know the case number?

[Bray 15]

How do you find out when USCIS send the case to the NVC? Does the case status change? I called and they told me It may take up to 90 days for the NVC to received the case. I was just approved August 2 TSC.
