U.S. Embassies and Consulates Processing Immigrant Visas
Next Steps - What the National Visa Center Does
After the National Visa Center (NVC) determines that supporting documents are completed and a visa is available, then the NVC:
- Schedules Interviews for all immigrant visa issuing U.S. Embassies and Consulates General, with the exception of the Consulate General in Guangzhou, China, which schedules its own interviews, and:
- Sends your documents to the Embassy/Consulate- NVC sends the immigrant visa petition and all related forms and documents (which were submitted to NVC) to the appropriate U.S. Embassy/Consulate abroad, for the immigrant visa interview, and:
- Sends an appointment letter to the applicant, petitioner, and agent/attorney of record (if applicable) to notify them of the date, time, and location of the interview.
Notice: Upon receiving an appointment letter, it is important that you prepare for your immigrant visa interview(s). Review Interview Preparation webpage for important guidance.
