did they update the online status, or did you find out through mail? 

Yes they did update the online status. I've not received the mail yet. But found the date by chatting with a live agent.

MSC I just got an email that my interview was scheduled. Letter coming via post.

Please how long that it take to hear from the embassy after nvc sent your file to them.?

I heard back from London Embassy after 6days after my expedite request was approved, but I have already scheduled my interview and medical before they sent letter to my address. I heard that some embassy never contact visa applicant after expedite approval. So go ahead schedule your medical and interview you have nothing to lose.

Hi,

 

I tried to search throughout the forum but I wasn’t able to find anything. 

 

Does someone know if there was some topic on this forum about expediting process at NVC so I can read more how it looks?

 

Thank you in advance!

We just received the wonderful news that NVC is expediting our case! Any advice or insights on what happens next?

 

Should we aim to schedule the medical now? Does anyone have the phone number for them? Alternatively, it is possible to schedule online or via email?

 

Thanks in advance! 

This might be helpful have a look http://www.lovevisalife.com/2018/04/nvc-expedite-approval-next-steps/. How long did it take for NVC to approve your expedited request?

I would assume you would go with the date of your original receipt on NOA1. The other date could just be an entry error made by them. 

Mine is similar to yours as well PD is 1 August on https://www.uscis.gov but 4 of August on https://www.myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov.

I did too many searches today and I'm blocked for the rest of the day so I can't get a screenshot but I can try my best to explain how it works. Also, I know a lot of people hide their case numbers on here so I'm not going to include any actual case numbers because although a case number doesn't provide any personal or identifying information, I don't know if posting a real case number is/is not against the TOS of VJ and I don't want VJ to ban me  

 

When you go to the search tab it'll let you enter a case number and how many cases following that (up to 500) that you want to search. I always search 500 because that gives me the most results (it includes all case types, not just I-130). Technically the limit is checking the status of 200 cases a day but I've found that I can usually do ~8-10 searches before I get blocked. In case you're worried, being blocked for the day has no impact whatsoever on your case. Anyway, once the search finishes I sort by type by selecting I-130 along the bottom. Each case number will have the current status and the date that it changed to that status (so for the approved cases I saw, the status was approved, the date was February 21st (the date that they were set as approved), and they were in a batch of August 1st cases so that's how I know the PD). 

 

USCIS receives hundreds if not thousands of applications each day and not all numbers are valid so you'll probably have to change the number you're searching quite a bit more than you'd expect. Start with your own case number because that way you know what date the search will return (cases that have the same PD as you do). According to your timeline, your PD is pretty close to the beginning of August so you won't have to change yours as much as I did if you're looking for August cases. Try searching for a case number that is 2000 higher or lower than yours and see where that gets you. That'll give you a better idea of how much you need to change the case number that you're using for the search. If it's not what you're looking for, then try 3000, or 4000, or 10,000. I got a lot of invalid results when I first started so I just kept trying new ones until I got the hang of it. I hope that makes some sense!

I downloaded the app and did exactly what you described above. I searched for my case number first then change a few different digits here and there. I got some interesting results. As mine was received 1st of August I saw a lot of 1st August that says case received I didn't see any approved ones, but it's possible approved ones exists. I when I changed the digits of my case number by -10000 I saw several I-130 application for may with status received. I also saw several June and July with the same status i.e. received. Note there were equally several May, June and few July's with status approved or sent to department of state. With those observations it seems that there are some elements of randomness with the way they pick and approve cases. For example SRC1890531xxx is mostly July 2nd some of those range have been approved already while of them are still received. Also found a lot of cases rejected for incorrect fees or for not signing of application forms. And finally there were some they requested for evidence.
