I had a very similar experience, mine took 26 days. Here's me thinking I'd have 5 months to prepare everything! Congrats =D. Next step is getting your documents ready for the interview. You'll get a letter from the embassy that will give you information on what to gather, but there's loads of guides around here to help.

Yay congratulations! Next step is for the petitioner to send evidence of financial support to the beneficiary, whilst the petition is processed by NVC and sent to the embassy, and then the beneficiary can book their medical and ordering their police check(s). :)

Congrats.

When we received ours, I waited about two weeks and then called the NVC and got the case # after which I had my fiance log onto the embassy website and file the DS-160,

How exciting :) Blessings
