A: It's been almost ten years since you received your notice of approval, and still no welcome letter from the NVC. The delay must be very frustrating and confusing. There are a few reasons this might be happening, including delays in processing times or missing information.

Firstly, you should check your case status on the USCIS website using your receipt number to ensure there are no issues. You might also want to contact the National Visa Center directly for more information on your case. Sometimes, they can provide updates or identify any potential problems that may be causing the delay.

Additionally, consider reaching out to an immigration attorney for advice on how to proceed. They can help you understand the specific details of your situation and what steps you might need to take next. Staying proactive and informed is essential to resolving this long wait.
