I130 approved?

[Jess&Rob 9]

My husband (US petitioner) applied for the I-130 online august 20th, 2020.  A few weeks later, since I was already here in FL

with him I decided to AOS and mailed in the rest of the forms.  I received receipt notices for all

However today we received a I-797 Notice of Action stating the I-130 has been approved and that my husband needs to log on to pay

the affidative of support fee (120$)  and I need to pay the IV application processing fee (325$)...

 

Sorry I am just a little confused... do I go ahead and pay these fees and continue with the next steps? (I thought this was if I was returning back to Canada for a visa)

 

I thought the next step was going to be a biometrics appointment since I decided to AOS.. 

 

any Info would be helpful!!

thanks!

No.  The fees quoted are for consulate processing.   Wait for the i485 to complete and you get an interview scheduled

Yes, but also communicate with USCIS to let them know to join the I-130 with the I-485.  This may not be absolutely necessary, but may save time.

It's because of what was selected on I-130:

 

Contact USCIS so that they don't send the approved petition to NVC.

It was already sent to NVC. My instructions are to login and pay NVC the two fees

How do I do this?

I’ve never tried calling USCIS but I hear it’s near impossible to get through..
