Moved to NVC stage 62 days after application of I-130

Does it normally move that quickly?  From everything I have read that this is unusually fast.  We thought maybe 6 months until approval.

 

We were hoping it would take longer, as with everything going on, we were hoping to not move until after January of 2022.  Plus, we are not living on my wife's country of birth and it will take us time to get the documents we need from Egypt as it might involve a flight to Cairo to get some things.  As of right now, China has 14 day quarantines and its a real hassle to go in and out. 

 

How long can we keep our case at the NVC level?

That is unusually fast but you can delay pretty much indefinitely while at NVC, as long as you stay in contact with them.

Are you able to go to China right now? Aren’t they still banning entry ?

My wife and I have been in China since the whole outbreak started.  They have started to allow foreigners to come back but you have to fly to Shanghai and quarantine there in a hotel for 14 days.  We are hoping they mandatory quarantine goes away after the new year so if we need to fly to Egypt to get paperwork (praying the embassy here in Beijing can help us with fingerprinting/birth records etc) it won"t be as much of a hassle.
