Some people from Mexico say they never get it or it comes after the interview, my main issue is they're saying its not even generated yet and they can't see anything about the case in their system.

The embassy said that? When did Nvc sent ur case? Did u call Nvc to check if they sent it?

My I-130 was approved on 8/25, got NOA2 on 8/28 (online), case was sent to NVC on 9/11 (received on 9/18).

My i-130 was approved also 8/25, got the physical letter of noa2 on 8/30. It says after 30days before contacting nvc, but we didnt contact nvc yet when i check our status on uscis app, it says there that “on nov. 15, we sent your case to department of state, you can contact nvc after 6 weeks” blah blah blah, are we going to wait for the physical welcome letter from nvc? Or just contact them and ask for the case number so that we can start processing?

 Dont wait.. call. You need to be proactive and constant with the NVC stage... call asap, use your I130 reference and ask for the new file # then keep contacting them as you complete each part of the fee paying, submitting forms etc through case complete and the scheduling of the interview. 

Thank you dee elle, but how about the welcome letter? Is it really necessary to have it or calling nvc and asking for case number will do? When sending aos and iv packet are we going to attach the welcome letter or its not necessary anymore?

Mine was sent on 11/8/17 and they received it on 11/13/17. I guess they say it can take that long but in my case it didn't! It might take yours a little longer since it was Thanksgiving.

Mine was approved oct.25 and on the uscis app they sent it nov.15 to nvc. How will you know that nvc received it?

You can start a lot without the welcome letter. You will need the cover sheet that comes with the letter when you submit the Affidavit of support and civil documents, but you need to do several things before that step

Selecting an agent DS261

Paying the IV fee

Paying the AOS fee

Completing the DS260 online

Then you submit the supporting documents and I864 with the cover sheet...

 

So call, and see if you can get the reference number and the Invoice number, , then you can start working through the CEAC website... 

I believe some of those unlock the others

Hello everyone,

 

How long it takes for NVC to receive case after approval ? It's been a month for me

 

thanks

The question should be how long for NVC to receive after it was sent. Mine was sent Sep 25 and NVC received on Oct 3.

From approval to sent in USCIS took 25 days tho. Approval was Aug 31. Check USCIS online status it should show the date "your case was sent to DOS" then you can start calling NVC.
