Overview

The following steps take place after you have submitted all required forms and documents to the NVC.

Step 1

If you are the beneficiary of an I-130 petition, you should contact your petitioner to ensure that they have completed Affidavit of Support Processing.

Step 2

Once the NVC has received your forms and documents, the NVC will review your immigrant visa application and may request additional information from you.

Step 3

Approximately one month before your visa interview appointment, you will receive an appointment letter containing the date and time of the interview, along with instructions for obtaining a medical examination.

What happens to my documents?

You will receive the original documents at the time of the visa interview.

When to call or write

The NVC cannot accurately predict the date for a visa interview appointment. Please call or write to the NVC, if the circumstances affecting your application change. For example:

  • Change of address
  • Change of marital status
  • Death of petitioner
  • Birth or adoption of additional children
