Most Important

No assurance can be given in advance that a visa will be issued. A consular officer can make a decision only after your formal application and all documents are reviewed, and you have been personally interviewed by that officer.

You are advised not to make any travel arrangement for departure from this country, not to dispose of your property or give up your job until the visa has been issued to you. An immigrant visa is usually valid for a maximum of four months from the date of issuance.  You must travel and apply for admission to the United States within that 4-month period.

Notice

Section 203 (e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires that an intending immigrant pursue his or her visa application within one year from the date he or she is informed that it is possible to do so. This is our notice to you that it is now possible for you to pursue your application for a visa. If you fail to do so within one year from the date of the attached letter, your application and any visa petition approved for you will be cancelled.

PLEASE BE ON TIME FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT. IF YOU ARE LATE OR NOT PAID YOUR APPLICATION FEE, YOUR APPOINTMENT WILL BE CANCELLED.
