Hey! I am a little confused about the timeline after having an I129F approved.

What we should do next?

Are we going to receive a letter from NVC? Or is it gonna be an email?

How long should we wait for? It's been a month since we got approved.

Should we write an email about the case? Or how can we get some information about it from NVC?

Thanks for the help.
