Once an immigrant visa (I-140) is approved by USCIS, it is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) for applicants who cannot adjust their status within the United States. The NVC then guides these applicants through the documentation process, requiring them to submit various forms and supporting documents, such as financial evidence and civil documents. Once all necessary documents are gathered and processed, the NVC schedules an interview with the U.S. consulate or embassy in the applicant’s home country. This interview is a crucial step, as it allows consular officers to evaluate the applicant’s eligibility for the immigrant visa based on the information provided. Following a successful interview, the applicant may receive their immigrant visa, allowing them to travel to the United States and begin their new life.
