welcome letter??
i've been waiting for 11 days and i still haven't received any welcome letter, is it normal? do i need to send an inquiry or i need to file i-824? i know the normal time range is 2-6 weeks but i saw a lot of people got their case transferred to the nvc in 3-7 days 😢 #ir2 #welcomeletter #nvc

same my case was approved on March 4th but it says 30 days minimum before sending an inquiry I’m sure we will receive the welcome letter next week

You should read your approval letter in case they are asking you for an 824, which takes a long time. That's terrible. It happened to me.

@blonde otano in my approval notice it does mention i-824 and i-485, but i think it's a generic template, everyone has it
kay leenMar 19, 2025
@Layla brown is i-824 and i-485 mentioned in your approval notice? isn't it a generic template? i hope our case will get transferred to the nvc and we will get our welcome letter soon!!

@seme k i think you should contact the uscis, the normal time range is 2-6 weeks but i saw a lot of people got their case transferred within 3-7 days
blonde otanoMar 20, 2025
That's a lie. USCIS and NVC don't send you a letter to follow the 6 steps, otherwise send the 824 they ask for. That's why
kay leenMar 20, 2025
@sandy A may i know what service center that approved your case?
kay leenMar 20, 2025
@blonde otano i dont know, i will just wait for my welcome letter for now and i will contact the uscis if it's already 30 days
kay leenMar 20, 2025
@sandy A when did u get approved?
kay leenMar 20, 2025
@sandy A so you're saying that my i130 is AOS instead of CP, which means i have to file for i-824, but my petitioner fill in my country address (outside us) when filling my i-130, im confuse
p mMar 21, 2025
check the email that u guys put on the I130. if it’s not your email ask your partner to check their email

just look at the NVC processing times page. it’s updated every Monday. if you should have received the IL, contact them.
