Hi
Ray, William

Got my I-130 approved today and they sent the visa petition to the NVC. About how long is average wait time  for them approve and send the documents to the consulate and also, when do I pay the other fees?


Thanks in advance for your help

The NVC will be sending you forms and bills for fees shortly.

You should be gathering all of your financial docs and preparing a draft Form I-864 now.

Look at about 3-4 weeks on the fee bill and about the same on the Request for I864

Thanks Ray , William

My I-130 took exactly 3 months from recite to approval. Do you have an estimate how long the average wait for approval at NVC takes before they send out to the various consulates(IN MY CASE IN ECUADOR) ??

Thanks

THEY dont take that long-maybe another 30 days after they get the I864 back to review, approve and send. Question will be processing to and in ecuador. I have only had 2 cases for equador in over a decade.
