Actually, beneficiary is the one who should receive communication about their interview. It's the beneficiary who's required to go to embassy for the interview to get their visa etc.

 

Just that my parents are very old. They don’t know what to do. I believe it’s my email that I put on the application for everything.

Any ideas on the steps from NVC onward? The approval notice stated the beneficiary will be contacted but she barely checks her email or knows how to ? Wondering how to avoid missing potential important instructions! Please advise

It’s all laid out step by step here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html
 

If your parents don’t check their emails much then you might want to ask them for their passwords so you can check yourself in case the emails don’t go to you. It’s all email from here on in until the visa is delivered by mail. 

 

And if they’re really elderly and won’t be working, make sure they have a good plan and plenty of funds for their health insurance - I’m sure they do but sometimes we see people who just don’t think about that for some reason, and then are taken aback by the cost! 
 

Good luck.

Thank you, appleblossom. I used my email address on the form I-130 for both parents. Only their children physical address and phone number is listed on the document. 
Yes, for insurance, I have a decent financial plan in place for them.

Then you should receive everything anyway. Good luck.

Update everyone: both parents case received at NVC, case number updated! This was moving so slow but it’s now moving so fast 💨

In filling form i-864, should I include my spouse as part of household income (he is a permanent resident while I am a citizen) as we file for my mum? Does that mean he needs to fill a form i-864 too? or should I only use my income? Which is better?

Yes I do

Then I-864A isn't needed

Hi everyone! I have a question about the NVC application, at what point do we submit civil documents? I submitted the i-864 and filling out the ds 260?
