Super Fast IR2 and NVC Case Assignment

[VicDEH 5]

Hello from a former lurker.  I decided to post my recent success in hope that it may provide encouragement to someone as many of you posts have for me.  Yesterday I checked my IR2 case status for my stepson as do normal once of week just out of habit.  Low and behold the case was approved on 01 May 2020 despite only being submitted online on 29 Feb 2020.  Then on 02 May 2020 I received and email from NVC advising of case creation already.  This seemed extraordinarily fast as it took my wife case 1 year to get to this stage.  She just got to the NVC stage on 13 Nov 2019 after more than a year at USCIS.  I was delaying her case as I made a mistake and thought my son would be included in her I30 which it wasn't.  I we had decided to wait the year for this approval and rented a house for a year here but two months into our lease both are at NVC.   I was able to pay the fees yesterday for my wife but my son log in indicated that the AOS was paid.  Could this be because it has already been linked to my wife's application or because I am the same petitioner for two separate cases?  Whatever the reason I must say we are extremely happy but shocked.  If only we could cancel our lease now (lol). Thanks for always sharing and keeping our spirits up. Will keep you informed of our progress for here on out.

That's great.  I helped a clinic client the first week of March and I hopefully theirs is close too.
