So how would this work.

すぐ里絵子はどうのか説明する国管理局の手紙を貰ってきます。
You should soon come to recieve a letter from immigration that will explain what to do.

😌

What would be a better to way to say that? I know I could remove てくる I know there is another verb which means 貰う.

Or how about

手紙来ませんか?そう、今日全ての書類は日本に送ってきますっていったEメールを貰いました。
You didn't get a letter? Really? I got an email stating all documents would be sent to Japan.

I really wanted to say I got an email saying the petition was completed and will be filed with the US Embassy in Japan.

This is how I would translate it (loosely)
恵理子は(IMMIGRATION)から手続きを説明する手紙をそのうち受け取るはずでしょう。

手紙はまだ届いてないんですか? ありえないんでしょう。全部の書類が日本に届けられるだろうというEメールを貰いましたから。。。

Note that you can't really say 手紙来ませんか?in this situation. This would mean something like "Won't the letter come"? instead.
