Approved petition received by NVC
Our I-130 was sent to the NVC on Friday (from USCIS Nebraska), and we received the initial welcome email / receipt email from NVC with receipt and invoice info to set up the account this afternoon. I heard this has been taking a week or more to even send over, and then a week for the NVC to open and receive. Things are really starting to pick up I think in terms of speed of processing.

what about your I 485?

now your wait begins, they are processing documents uploaded July 31, 2021.

@jeanette True. The process becomes really slow after they transfer the case to the NVC. My parents' case was transferred to NVC in 46 days, really fast. Still waiting in NVC though

I can't believe you are already approved... 🥺 and others submitting months before still pending
I wonder what makes your case easier to deal with or quicker to handle? congrats 🎉

I’m jealous too 🥺 we filed mid-June and got actively reviewed last week. How long did it take you to get approved after the actively reviewed notification?
Mike & Dafne CookOct 28, 2021
@ Lena - I got notified it was being actively reviewed on 10/22, and it was approved 10/23. so, just one day. I’ve heard some people have this experience too.

@ Orla - I’m honestly not sure. Our lawyer says it’s a simple case. She didn’t have a visa before. only visited here once as a kid going to Disney. She doesn’t have a criminal record. Nobimmigration violations. She has a brand new passport. maybe it’s just a combination of there not being much to check. or, quite possibly, luck of the right agent.
Orla MOct 28, 2021
I have all of the above just like your spouse!
I reckon it's pure luck 🤞
