Hello All, I just have this update on my case. My I-130 was approved on Dec 23, 2021. Does anyone know how long it takes for NVC to create the case when USCIS send them the case ?

I got it within a month it was fast. I got an email not a packet

I think within the month sounds correct. I don’t know how long it takes NVC to receive the case from USCIS but there is currently a backlog of 10 days. So it takes them about 20 days to create the case after they receive it

my I 130F case was approved 10/22 and I received electronic notice on 10/25 … the case was sent in 10/26 and on 10/28 NVC received the case and I was able to begin the second part of the process on 10/28. my case is considered “paperless” maybe that’s why they moved so fast or maybe it was due to the end of year “hustle” but now I have been waiting 2 months for review and approval of the DS-260 and for my interview date 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Celeste, I think NVC has been taking 90 days to review the documents so you still have time. Thank you for the info, that helps a lot. I applied online as well so I should receive the email from NVC soon as well then

What service center do you have ?
J
Just CuriousDec 27, 2021
at first I had Nebraska Center… but they transferred to Texas and then they transferred it to Potomac… and I didn’t receive any notice about my case being transferred… it’s complicated… but I’m really desperate right now, I’m considering suing USCIS for taking too long

@Sam K my case was sent to NVC at November 7th but I did not recieve wellcome letter until now
S
Sam KDec 27, 2021
@dih- I received mine the same day it was transferred. I think that is because I applied online the process is automated.
S
Sam KDec 27, 2021
@Just- You should be getting it soon. Processing times for service centers are long. Texas is taking 10.5- 14 months to process applications. Potomac is taking 12.5- 16 months. Once you are in the range, you should get it in couple of weeks
