need help with my process

[z.shahid 0]

Hi,

I am U.S citizen and sponsoring my wife on IR-1/ CR-1 visa. I did send my I-130 petition in Chicago locker box on 09/12/13 and on 09/24/13 i got a letter " I-797C" which basically states

" Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS National Benefits Center for processing. Within 7-10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number MSC xxxxxx. With the official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) you may visit www.uscis.gov where you can check the status of your case using My Case Status. We suggest you wait until you have received your Form I-797 before checking My Case Status.

This confirmation provides notification of the date USCIS received your case. This notice does NOT grant any immigration status or benefit. You MAY NOT present this notice as evidence that you have been granted any immigration status or benefit. Further, this notice does NOT constitute evidence that your case remains pending with USCIS. The current status of your case must be verified with USCIS."

so my question is what should i do. this was the only letter i received from them. what is next? do i need to send something?

any help would be very helpful

Thank You.
