I just checked today, the website says our case has been approved on USCIS site.

I do not know whether it means this is NOA2. Does this mean we have received our NOA2 already?

Then my question is what should we do now?

Do we need to submit anything to NVC?

Please help!!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Congrats on your approval!

If you were approved, USCIS will mail the petitioner the letter. They will also send your case to the NVC. You can call the National Visa Center about a week or 2 after your case is sent there to get your case number and invoice number. You won't need to submit anything to the NVC. Your file from there will be sent the consulate that your fiance will interview at. :)

@MissPearls,

thanks so much for posting this. i've read all the guides/flowcharts several times, asked on here to no avail, have googled on this site and on the web and yours is the first answer that explains what happens and needs to be done from the time of the USCIS NOA2 approval to NVC. i greatly appreciate this information.

Congrats on your approval!

If you were approved, USCIS will mail the petitioner the letter. They will also send your case to the NVC.
