US citizen filing for brother
I have received an approval notice for my I-130 today which obviously a surprise since it seems too good to be true considering it has only been 5 months. But it says I have missed stating that if my brother is in or outside the US. Now I need to file a form I-824.
But is it even possible to get that approval notice that soon? or is it normal and there will be a long wait after that? What do you guys think?

I just think he got lucky. I have applied for both my Mother and brother. For mom, I was waiting for a year which is normal so I think when they reviewed her file, they found my brother's file there too as both are in the same online account and they looked at it. That is all I can think of. But again unfortunate part is that I have made a mistake for both of them by not confirming if they are outside US which is now costing me another almost $1000 for I-824. I still think even from here on they will go by the priority date but you never know he gets lucky again.
Many duas by the way. 🙂

@Andila kousar can I ask what documents we need to siblings?

I had sent in our W2s for last 2 years. Then there is a Family tree document which shows all of your family members. Birth Certificates of mine, brother's and mom's.
