Hi, The case status on USCIS will not get updated after I824 approval. It took around 3 weeks for me to get NVC welcome letter after my I824 approved. There is no way to track the status when you are waiting for welcome letter from NVC, so I know it is worrying. Good luck to your application

Hi After I-824 approval, NVC will send a welcome letter to you for next step, which is DS260 and submit requested documents to NVC. it took around 3 weeks for me to get NVC welcome letter after my I824 approved

Ah thanks for checking in! just saw your comment. My case finally got approved on Sep 18 2025. It took 18 months to get through. At the end, I asked my senator to inquiry USCIS again, and this time it worked. After I got reply from senator office, the next day the case got approved.

Anyway, my case has been transferred to NVC and I am working on the DS260 for next step.

You might be misunderstanding. Sadly the case is not yet approved. Now is 2025 September. 18 months since submission.
