Hello, I would like to inquire regarding the timeline in which we will receive a welcome letter to proceed with the visa process. At the moment, we understand delays could happen during this times but our NOA 2 was received June 1st, 2020 and we wanted to follow up with the next steps needed to resume our application. As of tuesday, September 1st 2020, it has reached the 3 months threshold for a missing welcome letter. My priority date is March 21/2019. Thanks

Call the NVC. They will be able to give you your case number and invoice ID before the welcome letter arrives, assuming that they have received your case from USCIS and processed it (which they should have by now). If they don't have your case yet then you need to contact USCIS. 

I am not a lawyer and nothing I say is or should be taken as legal advice.

USCIS never sent over your file to NVC? Curious if that happens often? And if you can request an expedite or be pushed forward in the queue if this is an error on their part?

03/01/2008: Mailed N-400 to NSC :

03/03/2008: N-400 was delivered :

03/12/2008: N-400 was returned :

03/13/2008: Mailed N-400 to NSC Again:

03/17/2008: N-400 was delivered again:
