All immigrant visa petitions may be filed in the United States with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). USCIS sends approved petitions to the State Department’s National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will contact the petitioner when the case is ready to be processed (see the State Department’s Visa Bulletin for more information on how this is determined) and will request documents in preparation for the visa interview. The NVC will then schedule the visa interview, mail an appointment letter, and forward the file to the Consular Section.
If your interview has been scheduled, you may check the date and time by clicking on our published interview schedule.
Note that the process for K visas is slightly different. The NVC will forward the approved petition directly to the Consular Section. The Consular Section will then send the beneficiary a letter that lists the documents required for the visa interview. When a complete set of these documents have been submitted to us, we will schedule the interview and notify the beneficiary of the date in a letter. The appointment will also appear on our published interview schedule.
