Legal Question in Immigration Law in Pennsylvania

No, it doesn't mean that a visa number is already available. If a I-130 petition was recently approved, it's likely that it will be kept in the NVC for several more years until the priority date is current.

You can see your priority date on I-130 approval notice. It takes at least 10-11 years for most countries for a priority date to become current (for several countries, it takes longer than that). You can follow it in the Dept of State Monthly Visa Bulletin.
