What is the NVC?

When starting immigration processes, it is essential to understand the steps and agencies involved to ensure legal compliance. The NVC (National Visa Center), an agency of the U.S. Department of State, receives and processes forms and documents after the initial approval of visa petitions by USCIS.

In the CR1 visa process, the NVC acts as an intermediary between the beneficiary and the U.S. consulate or embassy, organizing the documentation for the interview. It collects fees, reviews applications, verifies documents, and schedules interviews, ensuring that legal requirements are met and the process is conducted in an organized manner.

It is crucial to follow official guidelines and consult specialists to avoid scams and guarantee a safe and legitimate process.
