U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security that administers the country's naturalization and immigration system. All USCIS forms are free and can be found on their website.
After USCIS approves your immigrant visa petition, USCIS forwards your petition to the National Visa Center (NVC) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire for immigrant visa pre-processing at the correct time.
The visa bulletin is issued every month by the Department of State.
Immigrant visa applicants in some countries use a Department of State online application center to submit required fees, forms, and documents to the National Visa Center (NVC) for review. This tool is called the Consular Electronic Application Center, or CEAC. It’s secure, easy to use, and faster than the traditional mail-in application process.
Once the petitioner or beneficiary receives the notification with your appointment date from the National Visa Center (NVC) for Immigrant or Nonimmigrant Visa applicants, each and every applicant will need to register their interview date, and the DHL courier service, in order to have your passport returned upon completion of your case, and/or document submission if requested by the Consular Officer.
