If you have the approved I-130 letter/notice from the USCIS, then use that and email it to NVC and ask for the case number/status of your case.

Call them directly, talk to a live person (press 5). They'll tell you to email that approved Notice of Action you received in your mail box (the petitioner's mail box).

Edited by tuvaty

reg.ula.tion.me.ooow.2011 // tomcat.fight

to do list:
file i-130, petition for alien relative
get immigrant visa
get ssn card and green card
get employment authorization - not required
file I-751, petition to remove the conditions of residence (before 2nd year expires upon entry)
become a US citizen


Thank you Visajourney!

Just hard an answer from NVC by email. I sent a update status request with my noa2 approval attached.

Here is their answer:

Dear Sir/Madam:

Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).

The NVC recently received this petition. The appropriate agent (applicant, petitioner, or attorney) will receive instructions for the further processing of this petition within 6 to 8 weeks.

Why is it take so long for my case?
