NVC
Hey Guys! I'd like for anyone to share how long it took to receive the NVC welcome letter once their case status updated to "sent to Department of State". I'm not finding much info on this via internet searches and thought I'd gain insight if people share their timelines/experiences. Also, after receiving the welcome letter, how long did it take to get DQ status?

Hello, I have been waiting for 30 days and nothing. I have contacted them and they told me that they have not received my approval, that I should give it 60 days and if it does not arrive, they will contact me again.

Oh wow. I got the welcome letter the same day they sent my case over to the NVC.
Juan Trinidad molinaMay 18, 2025
Yes, I believe that what was approved on my date, April 18, has not yet arrived

@beesz h when you uploaded did you click submit? Does the status of the documents show submitted or uploaded?
Simone OMay 19, 2025
@Juan Trinidad molina there's a group of people approved on that day with the same issue. They're all still waiting.

@Kathy T I have a notification from you but it's not on the post. Maybe the issue was fixed and you deleted the comment?
