F2A - Do you get a welcome letter if your I-130 has been forwarded to NVC?

[cookiemonster06 3]

I'm F2A and not current at the moment but our I-130 was approved after a little over a year this September but we had to file a I-824 to transfer from AOS to Consulate Processing which surprisingly got approved a little over 2 months. I-130 status got updated last week that it was sent to Department of State. Since I am F2A category, will I / and my petitioner receive a Welcome Email just to acknowledge that NVC received it or this won't happen until we're current.

It's August 2022. I'm far from being current so waiting for my spouse to apply for naturalization next year to get upgraded.

You may receive a 'welcome letter' because you are current based on the 2nd chart - Dates for Filing. However, you'll not be issued a visa until you are current based on the 1st chart - Final Action. 

Spouse naturalizing will be great because you won't be at the mercy of visa bulletin. Good luck.
