Congratulations! 🥳The welcome letter can arrive to your email anywhere between 15-90 days. When you receive the welcome letter, it means that your case is on its way to your embassy.

@Jessica V how long did it take u to recieve it?
J
Jessica VJun 13, 2023
@Houda Maaliki We received the welcome letter in about 70 days.

Houda MaalikiJun 13, 2023
@Jessica V wow that’s long! i saw some people recieve it right after their approval letter
J
Jessica VJun 13, 2023
@Houda Maaliki No, the welcome letter for K-1’s take 15-90 days. If a person received the welcome letter right after their approval letter, it’s for the I-130..

Houda MaalikiJun 13, 2023
@Jessica V i know but i just saw a post on someone who’s also a fiance visa! he literally recieved his welcome letter 4 days after his approval.. i guess some people are just lucky
J
Jessica VJun 13, 2023
@Houda Maaliki Yep, it all depends on luck and how fast embassies work. Some embassies are behind on work and some are ahead of the game.

Houda MaalikiJun 13, 2023
@Jessica V you’re right. good luck on your journey :)

@Houda Maaliki Our fiancé visa was approved a year and a half ago. My husband already has his green card. Thank you though. Good luck to you and your fiancé!!

@Houda Maaliki I was approved March 15th 2023 and it's been 90 days no welcome letter but I did email them and by the 8th email they said it was sent to embassy on June 6th 2023 they gave me case number but still no letter! I don't know if I can fill out ds 160 without letter ... I will wait to see if I get further instructions along with letter this week! I have no idea if I have to wait because everywhere I read it says must wait for welcome letter with further instructions to see of case is ready to apply for ds 160....k1 visa mexico.....90 days plus! Only I 130 etc...takes days to get letter! K1 doesn't and it also depends on country and embassy from what I have been told
