What happens after my visa application is approved by the NVC?

After a visa application is approved by the National Visa Center, several important steps follow in the immigration process. Firstly, the application will be forwarded to the specific U.S. embassy or consulate where the applicant will attend their visa interview. The National Visa Center provides a notification to the applicant regarding this transfer and includes instructions on how to proceed. Next, it is crucial for the applicant to prepare for the visa interview. This preparation typically includes gathering necessary documents such as a valid passport, civil documents (like birth and marriage certificates), and financial support evidence to demonstrate the ability to support oneself or any dependents. Once the applicant is ready, they should schedule the visa interview at the designated embassy or consulate. During the interview, a consular officer will review the application and documents, and ask questions to determine eligibility for the visa. If the visa is approved during the interview, the applicant will receive their passport with the visa affixed. However, if additional information or documents are required, the applicant will be informed during the interview. To learn more about this process, it is beneficial to refer to the official National Visa Center website for precise information and guidelines.
