For me, the welcome letter comes 4 business days after approval, but it's a little slower lately. Card is almost always the third day later.
I don't track the welcome letters, but they almost always come for us the day before the card. Here's how many days between approval and card arrival for our last several apps:
6, 9, 9, 11, 10, 8, 8, 11, 8, 10, 9, 11, 10, 8
Based on previous discussions in this thread, this definitely seems to be affected by which part of the country you're in.
