I-130 approval

[mopekmez 1]

So I have an update, USCIS is stating that my case is still being processed but under documents there is a letter stating that it’s approved. Does this actually means our case is approved ? We applied May 19, 2024 and now we have this update.

 

Also if this is approved should I fill out the I-485 ? My wife will need a sponsor.

I-485s are for people already inside the US.  Where is the beneficiary?  Your post history indicates the beneficiary is outside the US.

Thank you! 

 

Also since I need a sponsor for my wife, should I fill out the I-864 next while our case goes to NVC for now ?

She is in London under the high potential individual visa. Her citizenship is in Nepal though. 

 

Also I meant I-864 for having her sponsored.

OK.  There are several things needed for NVC.  You will receive a document list.    You might want to review:

Okay I see so NVC has to process this and then they will send a welcome letter and a list of what’s needed including a payment. 

 

So now I have to wait ?

Yes.  Once all your documents are approved by NVC, they will schedule the interview when your case reaches the front of the line for the london consulate.  You will pay 2 fees at NVC.

Yes, not long though, the NVC stage is pretty quick and your wife is also at one of the quickest consulates so won't be too much longer. 

 

You can see NVC timelines here, it's updated weekly - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

 

Make sure you follow the step by step guide posted by @Crazy Cat super carefully to avoid any delays, good luck.
