Awesome if she already approved National visa center will send you a welcome letter to instruct you but still file I-485 now with I-130 at the same time

National visa center will send you they own letter with an ID and LOGIN so you can summit your documents and pay for your visa application form. I-485 form you can do it either way okay

If your wife is not in the US, you should not be doing an I-485 for her. Please read the Welcome letter again to make sure that it's just making mention of form and not actually telling you that you need to do the form. Sometimes the letter include general info on things not relating to your case. Just for informational purposes.

Also, a Welcome Letter comes after NVC processes and approves your fees, affidavit of support form, IV form and civil documents. Once all of those are posted in your NVC account, then you wait for approval ( documentarily qualified) and Welcome Letter.

thank you so much do you know how long it will take for me to received it
Dan KenMay 30, 2022
you're welcome. if everything is going smoothly then they usually take up to 60 days. some cases do take longer though. so, it all depends on the case.
