This may be an odd question, but what is the difference between:

The email that "welcome notice was mailed" and "after approving your application, we ordered you a new card?"

My wife received the "welcome notice" email last week, but I see some receive the latter. So what's the deal?

12-15-04 > I-129F packet mailed (Day 1)

02-03-05 > APPROVED!!! NOA 2 (Day 50)

02-18-05 > Embassy receives petition (Day 65)

02-17-06 > (YEP 1 YEAR, NO TYPO) Packet 3 received (Day 429)

03-14-06 > Interview Date...VISA APPROVED!! (Day 454)

03-16-06 > Fiancee received visa in hand and we arrived in the USA!!

04-29-06 > Wedding Date

05-30-06 > Sent AOS and EAD

Nothing unusual here. The Welcome letter is your I-797C approval notice. The other email just lets you know that your green card has been ordered. You may get another email informing you that your card has been mailed.

Congratulations on your approval :)

Oh, I see. The NOA letter will be received, then you mayt get the "a card has been issued" email. Looking at your timeline it took about 1 month from the email, to get the GC.

Thanks
