So, what's the next step? Going to call my lawyer tomorrow.

Within one week of your I-130 approval, your request will be sent to the NVC, who will assign you a Case Number. You need the Case Number to pay your visa fees and you'll also need it to apply for the I-601A waiver.

USCIS says to wait 6 weeks to hear back from NVC, but I heard it is actually taking 3-4 months to get a Case Number from the NVC.

Another I-130 approval here. How are y'all checking if the NVC has assigned a case # yet?

Congrats everyone!

Re: Official I-601A Thread
 

When did you send you I-130?

Re: Official I-601A Thread
 

10/30/2017. In May we received a request for more proof of citizenship. Sent it in earlier this month, and got approved almost right after.

You call NVC. Give them the USCIS receipt number.

NVC tends to take a bit these days to actually receive it (USCIS's fault) and to actually process it.

Re: Official I-601A Thread
 

I can call NVC myself to get case number?

Re: Official I-601A Thread
 

Yup, you can call them to get the Case # over the phone.

I called NVC today to inquire about my application. They said they received my application from USCIS on 05/08/2018, but have not generated a case number. Maybe in another 2-3 weeks.

Their phone number is: (603) 334-0700
Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight EST, excluding holidays.
