Anyone received two different I-797C, Notice of Action after filling i130 ?
After I submitted my i130 in August, 2022, I received two separate I-797C, Notice of Action document from USCIS in mail.
The first one was about the creation of online account with the access code for me to use. This notice came from California Service Center.
I received one more I-797C, Notice of Action, that had the preference of classification, payment information, my spouse's name who is the beneficiary. This notice came from Protomac Service Center.
As a result, I thought my case is in Protomac. But when I talked to USCIS live agent, I was told it is in California. The agent didn't mention anything about transfer. May be my case has always been in California.
Notice date is also same on both document. Interestingly, I only see the online account creation notice under "Notices" in my online account.
US citizen filing for a spouse overseas.

@shuvro g I also filed in August 2022 (4th). I had the same situation as you. The account creation notice said California SC and the notice of action said Potomac SC. My case is with California now. I found out with USCIS contact center. Not sure if there was or not a transfer at some point but California is processing faster than Potomac (per USCIS) so this is good news. If you filed on paper like me then this might be why the notice is not online. It was generated before you set up an online account.

@Gabby R I just got my approval letter yesterday. Did you get the Welcome Letter from NVC yet?

@shuvro g That’s so awesome! So happy for you! I haven’t gotten the letter yet but should be getting it any moment now. Someone else got theirs 12 days after approval. Today marks the 12th day for me.

@Gabby R Did you receive your welcome letter yet? I received mine today in email.

@shuvro g Not yet. Did you also get an email from them or just the letter in the mail?

@Gabby R I received an email. I think physical letter will follow soon. Make sure to check your spam folders too. I have also heard that NVC will only send an email but I am unsure.
