Our I130 was approved for my spouse and I received an I797 notice of action. It says they will contact him in the next 30 days with what to do next.

Do you know in which way they contact? They do not have our emails or phone numbers as far as I know. Would they send him a letter in the mail of the next steps and do you know how long it takes for him to get the visa now that it has all been transferred to the National Visa Center?
