Is that normal to close the case after you get the approval?

 

Yes -- normal for USCIS to close the case after approval.  Typically, USCIS forwards the case to NVC for further processing, but it seems you made a mistake in the I-130, so USCIS hasn't forwarded the case yet.

Update:

 I just called USCIS and they said the case was transferred to NVC!

Should I still have to send I-84 or I have to wait until they contact me?

thank you in advance 🙏

You should have gotten the Welcome Letter via email. It will have your case number and your invoice number which you will use to create a CEAC account.

 

Have you tried searching your emails? The subject line should be Notice of Immigrant Visa Case Creation.

USCIS closes the case and sends it to NVC, once NVC receives the approval they will send you a letter with a case creation, it will have your case number and invoice number. With that you create a ceac  account and pay the fees (ds-260 and I-864)once the fees are paid you upload the requested documents and wait until you are DQ, they will give you an interview date, before that interview you have to do a medical exam. The letter will give you a lot of information on what types of documents you will need, how to scan and upload. Depending on your location and backlog the transfer between USCIS to NVC could take some time

this link will show you the case flow. Good luck
