Hello,

Our i130 petition was approved and it was sent to the department of state on 01/06/2020 but we have not received the welcome letter (our priority date is 01/28/2019). The NVC case frame says Current case creation time frame: As of 19-FEB-2020, we are working on cases that were received from USCIS on 28-JAN-2020, which you would think our case was received already. I have tried calling them several times but it keeps telling me to call at a later time and they hang-up and if I send an e-mail they are taking almost 2 months to answer. Any suggestion on how I can contact the NVC to see if they have sent the letter? or do I need to just wait? thank you so much!

It takes several weeks for NVC to receive and enter a case into their system (sometimes as long as 6 weeks).  That statement implies that they are working SOME cases they received Jan 28th.  I'm sure you are close.......just be patient......

Are you a petitioner or beneficiary?

Just curious about whether beneficiary or the petitioner of I-130 gets contacted by NVC

Can pls send me the link to ask nvc regarding our approved I-130 our priority date was August 27, 2019 but till now we did not recieced any welcome letter. thank you much

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/nvc-contact-information.html here is the link. You can send an e-mail or call, if you send an e-mail it will take up to 2 months to get an answer but if you call about 50 times in a row you will get an answer, I had to wait more than 2 hours to get a rep on the phone so be patient.
