It certainly hasn't made much of a difference filing my sons I-130 later because they are approved together and im confident they will go to NVC together

I just checked my e-mail and there are 2 e-mails confirming the approvals so HAPPY!

Congratulations Michelle
The NVC has been really quick for us so far. OUr DS230 and I864 were entered on the system on Tuesday, so we're just waiting for completion and an interview date. So far it's only been 5 1/2 weeks since we got approved.
The NVC should have you file and create a case number in about 3-5 working days. You can call their automated voice service with your USCIS numbers to get your NVC case numbers from them by then.
Hey, you should only be five or six weeks behind me, so we may get to Florida within a few weeks of each other. Party on the beach to celebrate then!
Did you get the expedite or was it just your turn?
love
Lyn

Could you tell me when did you send the petition and got the NOA1? I just want to know how long have you waited for this, because I am in the waiting time right now, so boring..it seems very slow..

My husband filed my I-130 on October 19th 2007 we didnt get NOA1 till 14th January 2008 but there was an influx of petitions due to the price increase in July 2007and we got caught up in that so i guess we got NOA1 a lot later than normal. But when he filed My sons I-130 on April 24th 2008 he got NOA1 on 2nd May 2008 so typically it would take around a couple to 3 weeks for NOA1.
Hope this helps
Michelle

Waow..that's very fast for your son's approval! I sent my I-130 on April 25th (just a day after your son's) and got the NOA1 on May 5th. My case is still pending in VSC now. I think they processed your son's I-130 when they processed yours.

Hopefully you won't have to wait as long as i did for approval. VSC are slow right now but things may well pick up because there is one thing....USCIS is not easy to go through but it's well worth it when you want to be with the one you love

I can tell you K1 is faster for sure there seems to be a lot K1's getting approved well before I-130's so maybe your wait will be short.
Good Luck
