Follow the instruction whenever a letter is received, he will get his mail in JA about 2 wks after you

The foreign spouse usually always get the letter after the USC. How long depends on the mail in the foreign spouse's country. I got my letter about a week after my husband.

Anyways, he doesn't really need his letter to start the NVC process. And once you fill out the DS-261 (choice of agent), all communication will be through email.

Exclusive communication by email isn't tied to submission of the DS-261. Once a case number is assigned, if they have email addresses of record for the petitioner and beneficiary, that flips the switch to exclusive communication by email.

I always assumed it was tied to the DS-261, since I see no other reason for most people to fill out the DS-261, if not provide email addresses. I did the mistake of assuming logic in the NVC process. Thanks for the clarification.
