Approval notice what it means

[minions2 24]

 My mother is a green card holder who petitioned brother in 2018. We just received an approval notice. Priority date may 30 2018.  Does this mean we can start the process? And he turned 20 yrs Old last Month. Will he over aged? I dont know how to interpret the visa bulletin, it says f2a is current.

Nope not aged out, 21 is the number for that.

 

What happens next is the case file is forwarded to NVC ...   be patient as this can take 4-6 weeks

He won’t age out, age is locked for CSPA at latest of petition being approved or visa number available. F2A is current (means visas immediately available) so the relevant date for him is approval.

thanks for that info. do we need for NVC to contact my brother before we can scan documents to CEAC?

NVC will contact one of you with your case# and invoice# so you can login into the system and pay your fees and scan required documents. NVC is taking approximately one month for this, meanwhile just wait.
