How long does it take for USCIS to send the I-130 petition to NVC and for you to get the email?

Does your approval letter mention form I-824? Or it explicitly says petition was sent to NVC?

No it does not say I-824. Said going directly to NVC

From NVC website:

 

Current case creation time frame: As of 12-Oct-22, we are working on cases that were received from USCIS on 13-Sep-22.

Once USCIS sends your I-797 approval notice, they will send your approved petition to the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing. At NVC, we will create your visa case and enter the data from your petition into the system.

After creating your case, we will send you instructions for processing, as well as a Welcome Letter that includes your Case Number and Invoice ID. You will use these numbers to log into our Consular Electronic Application Center (https://ceac.state.gov).

Oh it takes a month? I saw some people saying it took them a couple of business days or few days to get the welcome email.

There are always outliers — YMMV. But unless you go past the date posted on NVC, there’s nothing to worry about, you’ll just have to wait.
