NBC does not approve your case.  They only put your case file together and your local office can only do the interview.  Most likely, you can plan on having an interview.

the letter says that they have seen my case preliminary and that they will let me know if I will have an interview or not!  I hope and have no interview although I have everything in order with my wife

My original case is from California service center?  When you talk to me about my local office, is the state I live in?

Your local office decides if an interview is required or not.  If required, they will send you an interview notice.

I hope I'm a little excited to know what will happen, yesterday after 18 months I had biometrics traces that's a good sign.  I sent many evidence when we sent the i751 and I still have more evidence in case I get to go to interview
