Hello all,

Am I suppose to expect a letter from the NVC when they receive it in a month or more? Then, this entails the Case #...right....so then what happens?

Should I start on the criminal background (IRAN) check now, since it might take a long time for them to process it? They already have the original since our last K-3 visa interview (which was last year). Do you think they need another or will that be suffice? What do you think?

Been apart since March 8, 2004, hubbie went to Canada, Toronto

I-130 approved in July 10, 2007

Waiting for NVC: Missouri to receive file....

Congratulations on the approval. NVC will mail you instructions about the next steps. It is good time for you to read the NVC Forum. You can also use shorcut with NVC process which would save you time. All info can be found on NVC Forum. NVC, USCIS do the background check, if needed. You don't need to do anything in this regard.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

If by "background check" you meant obtaining the police certificates for your SO, yes this would be a good time to start looking at that. The US gov't will also do a criminal name check, but that is against standard databases. You need to obtain the police certificates.
