I cannot believe it! I received my email from USCIS NOA1 approval of my I-130!!! In barely just under 3 months!! WOW! ok, so what's next....DS 230 and I864 right? How long do you think for the whole process, till interview date? 3 months? or 4 months?

correction. edit. it is NOA2. wow!

Next thing that happens is that NVC will process it and send it on to the Consulate.

See the flow chart:

Also see the Embassy reviews for the consulate that you will be working with to get an idea about the time that they take.

The timelines on this site are helpful.

Just select the Consulate that you are working with and look at the times.

Congratulations! You have to deal with Choice of Agent and AOS Fee Bill first before DS 230 and I-864. First, NVC will assign you a case number in about 1-2 week after the approval then another 1-2 week for NVC to generate Choice of Agent Form and AOS (Affidavit of Support) Fee Bill ($70.00).

There is also a pinned thread in the NVC section that is very helpful. Personally, it was very helpful to check out the timelines of others.

Congratulations on your approval

Congrats that is great news
