I delayed for several years while waiting for COVID to calm down. All you need to do is log into your NVC account once a year and that's good enough to keep your case active.

Aug 2022 - applied Online for I-130
Sept 2023 - Email received for approved I-130
At the NVC stage.

Please confirm that the I-130 was approved (and NOA2 received) in a month or less.  If so, it is a very rare case unless DCF.

Looks like 13 months.

Not sure on how long NVC is taking to documentarily qualify petitions.  

 

Montreal is seeing about a 3-6 month wait between DQ and interview.  Montreal does have a seemingly higher instance of DS-5535's being handed out, though.
