How long does it take for USCIS to send I-140 to NVC?

[kopwin 2]

My I-140 was approved 4 months ago, and my congressman just heard back from USCIS that my case was transferred to NVC this morning. I then called the USCIS contact center to confirm, but the representative couldn't find the record of shipment. The online status still remains as "Case was approved..." Could USCIS lie to my congressman, and if not (hopefully), does USCIS ship approved I-140 documents to NVC by mail, and how long will the shipment typically take? Thank you!

I suspect the person you spoke to just didn't have access to that info if it was only sent yesterday - it won't even have been logged yet. Most cases are sent electronically these days, but it'll be in a queue once received. You'll need to be patient, but hopefully will get the Welcome Letter in a few weeks. 

 

Good luck.

Thanks a lot! I'll try to be patient 😊
