What happens next? how long before the welcome letter (or is that part of the approval letter) and being able to pay the fees? I'm just trying to work out the timelines going forward.

 

On a different note would you mind if I messaged you some questions around Jacksonville as that's a relocation area we've looked at (and visited last year) and could still be interested in

The welcome letter takes about 1-3 days to come, at most 5 working days.

 

I have no basic information about Jacksonville as I'm yet to join my husband there. But if there's any other thing you need my help with, I don't mind.

You can only pay the NVC fee after receiving a welcome letter from the NVC, which comes with your login details and website. After making the payment, you wait for 3-4 working days for the payment to be cleared. After which you can fill the DS-260 before filling your civil documents. Lastly, payment can't be made with credit/debit cards. It has to be from either a savings or a checking account

It's about 6 weeks for the Welcome Letter at the moment. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

As above, 6 weeks or so for the Welcome Letter, then the timescale will large depend on you and how quickly you submit your civic docs etc. 

 

Once you've done that, and been Documentary Qualified, you'll be added to the queue for an interview, and luckily London is one of the quickest consulates. 6-8 weeks from DQ to interview as a rough guide, could be quicker depending on when in the month you're DQ'ed (there's a cut off point, as interview letters are only sent out once a month usually). 

 

All of the info about what happens next is on the website - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

 

Good luck.
