So... who else has pre-interview jitters? I know we have all the paperwork, etc. in hand and I know he's ready to go, but does anyone else worry about the dreaded Administrative Processing just coming out of thin air? I'm worried to death about it.

Yep, I'm worried, definitely. Even though I'm told that the K1 interview is nothing to fret over, and the fact that I've had my paperwork ready for months, I am still having the occasional butterflies/nervous adrenalin rush that I imagine will get more frequent as the date gets closer. :/

Just passed the 60 day mark for the I-130 wait...
Has anybody just received their I-130 approval? If so, how long did it take you, and did you have to go through any RFEs?

It took 150 days for our I-130 approval. No RFEs. But we were part of a batch sent to Rome for processing.

From what I've read on this forum it varies a lot. Some people seem to have them processed within 2 months while others seem to have to wait for 6 months.
You know the date your petition was filed so you should be able to check up on the dates they are currently processing on their website at the top right hand corner and that will give you a rough indication of how soon they might process yours.

That seems surprisingly fast... did you file at the London consulate as well?

No, that link doesn't apply if you've filed the I-130 in the USA. You'll want to go to www.uscis.gov and check processing times over there. USCIS gives you their expected processing time (typically 5 months). You can also create an account over there and get email and/or text updates on your specific case, but they aren't 100% reliable.

G-1145 is for receiving notice from a lockbox facility that an application or petition has been accepted for processing. I.e. it has been received by the lockbox and on initial review it appears to be a complete application or petition. It's effectively an electronic version of the Receipt Notice (aka NOA1), but it cannot be used in place of the Receipt Notice when a copy of the Receipt Notice is required.
Subsequent notices will come from the Service Center to which the application or petition was sent for processing. To get e-mail notices about the status of the processing you will have to sign up as Rene suggested.
