I received my “approval notice” that has a “notice date” of 06/15/2023… it’s now well over 30 days (today is Aug 8, 2023).. so I emailed for an update and reviewed this response:
”The National Visa Center (NVC) recently received your immigrant visa petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Your petition is now waiting for data entry into our systems.
Since your case is not in our systems yet, we cannot make updates.
As soon as your case is in our systems, we will send a Welcome Letter and instructions.”
So how much longer should I expect to wait until I get my welcome letter with the case number?…
(also, am I correct in understanding that I have to wait for this welcome letter/case number before I can pay the fees and submit the affidavit of support?)
thanks in advance for all the help here
