Hey everyone. Our I-130 was approved! :dance:

Now onto the next part.

I was just reading on the website that it takes 4-8 weeks after you send DS-230 and all the final documents before you get an interview.

I was wondering how long it took from you guys from sending your final documents to the time when you were given an interview, because from what I have seen on the timeline board it seems like it could be faster? ::Crosses fingers::

P.S. Did anyone notice that a couple of months ago we didn't have to send all these documents, and now it says we have to send the originals and copies and we will get them back at the interview? This freaks me out!! I don't want to risk anyone losing our original documents. :wacko:
