WOW! I was JUST looking at Igors list to see if anyone from february had been approved at NBC but there was none!! I´m so happy for you, 35 days is super fast!! Congrats!!!

How long did it take to show up online?

Ours showed up online the day after I received NOA1. Again, I think this has to do with the auto-expedite / USC abroad. Good luck!

I received e-mail confirmation yesterday that our I-130 was approved, 35 days after NOA1.

I believe our petition was auto-expedited as we both live outside the US. I-130 was processed at the NBC.

Best of luck to everyone for a fast approval.

1. Country USC resides in: Ireland

2. Is there a USCIS field office in this country / Is DCF still possible? No

3. When did you file the I-130: 2013-02-07

4. How long had you been living abroad: 7 years

5. Do you reside in the country legally? Yes

6. What is the reason for your residence: Employment / Wife

7. Did you list your foreign address on all forms in I-130 package? Yes

8. Did you send I-130 package from abroad? No - sent by immigration lawyer in US

9. Did you include evidence of your residence abroad in the I-130 package? Yes - Lease, Financial Statements

10. Did you mention the fact you reside abroad in the cover letter or write a letter describing your current situation and the evolution of your relationship with your spouse (mentioning your residence abroad)? Yes.

11. Has your case been "auto-expedited"? How long between NOA1 and NOA2? Yes. I-130 approved in 35 days between e-mail NOA1/NOA2 notifications.

We filed from abroad (via a US immigration attorney) on Feb 4th, FedEx overnight, received NOA1 by email on Feb 7th.

Case was sent to Chicago Lockbox and routed to NBC.

My wife and I (I am USC) live in Ireland, have been married for 1 year, have lived together in Ireland for about 6 years - package included photos, leases, foreign joint bank account statements, etc. Am hoping for an auto-expedite that I've read about.

Good luck to everyone for a speedy process.
