Your welcome. But, why you ask. Did something happen with yours?

No no. I got my I-130 approved 10 days ago and I just get really worried with snail mail. My partner / the petitioner received the courtsey approval mail and it said explicity this is not the official copy so we were worried it was sent to our previous lawyer who withdrew their G-28 a few months ago or it went to our current lawyers. It seems like it takes 7 or so odd days to receive the official approval notice. Our current lawyer received it this past weekend.

Hello folks,

 

I've received an approval email from USCIS and they inform me that the approval notice will follow by mail.

Now, it is almost 10 working days (two weeks) and I didn't receive it.

I've talked to USCIS representative and he asked me to wait for another week.

Is it normal??

Yes
