Hi. Hope someone can help me with this confusion.
We applied the application form I-130 for IR-1 on Tuesday through Consulate in Guangzhou China. On Wednesday my husband (petitioner) received email titled "Notice of Approval" .
The email said:
"Please find a copy of the Approval Notice for your Form I-130 attached. The password will be sent in a separate email.
Approved I-130 petitions are forwarded to the Department of State Immigrant Visa Unit in Guangzhou. The Department of State will contact your relative directly to schedule a visa interview."
In the attachments there is a zip file containing PDF with out last name. However, the file does not open and does not ask for any passwords.
My question is : What is this email? Is it NOA 1? or NOA 2?
I (depended) also have received an email saying "The U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou has received your application information and will begin the next phase of processing your visa" and tells steps what to do :submit form DS-260, photos, and copy of passport.
I am going to follow instructions and do all those things but I am still confused where in the process I am at now.
Any help will appreciated.
Thank you
