So from my understanding I believe I’ve jumped ahead of myself. I’m still in the case approved status and NOA2 received. The status hasn’t updated to sent to NVC yet. So once it’s sent to NVC is that when I submit an inquiry for the case number, after 60 days. 

I never received an update from USCIS saying mine was sent to NVC. I waited 60 days and submitted a PI asking if they had received it, and sure enough they had. If it has been 60 days since you received NOA2 I would send a PI and ask.

Hello everyone, we got approved on December 11. My fiance hasn't received the notice yet but it says on the USCIS website that our petition was approved!

I'm sure it's possible, but our attorney said it's highly unlikely at this point that that'd issue a RFE  . It's more likely to go straight to the NVC then his noa2.. But anything is possible. I

Estimates can be safely ignored! I've never seen it showing anything accurate. For my N-400, it showed 3 weeks until decision on day of my oath. Unless you want stress and confusion, I'd ignore it.

Hello everyone I have another question... I'm gathering my documents for the 134 form.. Is it necessary for me to obtain a letter from my bank stating when I opened the account OR are the 12 months of bank statements good enough? I'm confused with this because my attorney says no I don't need that but I've been reading and watching videos and that says it would help...

My understanding is that if you are not going to use the asset then it is not needed. If you plan on using the bank account I would go with the letter from the bank as that is what is on the instructions for the i134 but it could not hurt to also have some bank statements.
