After 3days I received my welcome letter but my sister case have been approved since 105 days no welcome letter they don’t even sent her case to the nvc

@waseela TR i think your sister should contact the uscis cause the average time is 2-6 weeks though i saw a lot of people only wait for 3-7 days

@kay leen If you haven’t received the welcome letter, you may have made a mistake. Verify your case online and check the approval letter to see if they are asking you to submit Form I-824.

@Smuley gee it says in the approval letter to file i-824 but i thought people automatically got their case transferred to the nvc without i-824

@kay leen Because you forgot to specify the country where you want to be interviewed or if you want to do a status adjustment or consular processing.

@kay leen you case will delay for 6 to 12 more months i also made this mistake

@Smuley gee are you sure, every approval letter mentioned i824 and i485 but that doesn't mean we need them + im still in my normal time range, i know that most people got their case transferred to nvc in 3-7 days, but the normal time range is 2-6 weeks, how are you so sure that i need to file i824

@kay leen I don’t know, that’s why I said you should check if your approval letter mentions that you need to send the I-824 form. I made a mistake—I didn’t specify the location where I should be interviewed. They asked me to send the I-824 form, and after 4 months, it was approved, and my case was transferred to the Department of State.

@kay leen They will tell you that your case is approved, and they will ask you to send the form. They will also provide the address to send it to. If you don’t see that in the letter, wait.

@kay leen You didn’t specify whether you are in the U.S. for adjustment of status or outside for consular processing. That’s why they haven’t sent it to the NVC. Believe me or not, I know what I’m talking about—I went through this.

@Smuley gee yes my approval letter do mention i-824 but the thing is my petitioner include my address (outside us) when filling my i-130

@Smuley gee so i really should file for i-824?

@Smuley gee can u give me your email, im gonna send you my approval notice so you can check

@kay leen you have to send the i-824 form ASAP if you dint your case will delay have fees with the form found someone in the usa who can help you with it

@kay leen dr.guywilliams@icloud.com but i know you will need the form to continue

@Smuley gee you can check your email, btw you got your i-824 approved in 4 months, isn't that fast? do you know the current processing time for i-824?

@kay leen of u are in California service center maybe 6 months now
