I think everything is probably ok but I want to check.
We filed our I-130 in Aug 2022 and just received the approval notice (which I think is also known as NoA 2, is that right?).
There seems to be some contradictory information.
Our Case Status Page says "nothing is outstanding at this time" and they'll let us know if they need anything.
but
The Approval Notice PDF doc says "submit a copy of this notice, along with a Form I-485".
Do they mean that we should do that right now, or is this just sort of a heads-up as to what we'll need to do down the road (and so we should do nothing right now)?
Also, the visajourney Step-by-Step guide says that the NoA would "indicate... the forwarding of your approved petition to the NVC" but I don't see where our approval notice says anything about that. It acts like the NVS has it, but doesn't say anything about it being forwarded to them - but maybe I'm just not understanding the process. Is the simple fact that we got this document the "indication" that the Guide is talking about?
I've attached screenshots of the bits below. Is there something weird going on, or is this the usual procedure (and so we should just wait for further contact)? If we do just wait, is the next thing expected the "welcome letter" people mention and then the interview preparation packet with its associated To Do list?
Thank you.
