When looking at the visa stats, does this metric (the beneficiary will get an email from NVC when the petition is forwarded to your consulate) correlate to the NVC Received, NVC Left, or Consulate Received date?

I’m afraid I don’t understand the question. I don’t think I check the status of my visa yet as I haven’t been given a case number. I believe it should be included in the email I receive from the NVC.

Of course the letter says it.  This is a generic "letter" is used for many different visa types.  This part however does NOT apply to a K1 applicant it only applies to immigrant visas to which a K1 is not.

 

This is a well known issue.

Oh I see! Thank you very much. We’ll keep an eye out on our emails. Do you know if it’s normal to wait over a month to receive it though?

No such thing as a welcome letter from NVC for a K1.  The beneficiary will get an email from NVC when the petition is forwarded to your consulate 

Also, travelstate.org describes is as a welcome letter, so I think there must be such a thing, unless I’m utterly confusing matters.

“After creating your case, we will send you instructions for processing, as well as a Welcome Letter that includes your Case Number and Invoice ID. You will use these numbers to log into our Consular Electronic Application Center ”

It specifically said in the Notice of action that we would be sent a letter. But we’ll check the email account, thanks.

I’m from the UK, my fiancée and I submitted out I-29F in March 2022, which was accepted in April 2023. We then got our I-797 notice of action in early May telling us that they’re sent our petition to the NVC.
 

However, it’s now been a month since we received the notice and we’ve not had a welcome letter. So my question is, is it normal to have to wait this long for our letter from the NVC? Or should I attempt to contact them?
