How do I know if my case is at the NVC?

It is important to understand that, during the immigration process to the United States, your case may go through different stages and agencies. In the case of the EB-4 visa, as with other types of visas, a checkpoint is the moment your petition is forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC), the agency responsible for organizing cases before they are sent to the U.S. embassy or consulate.

To find out if your case is already with the NVC, you can follow these steps:
1. Check the communication received: Generally, when your process is transferred to the NVC, you will receive a letter or an email informing you of the status change, the NVC case number, and instructions on how to proceed with the next steps. It is essential to carefully read this correspondence and follow the guidelines, as it contains deadlines and documents that will be necessary.
2. Consult your case information online: The NVC provides a case tracking system on its official website. To access it, you will need your case number and possibly other personal information to confirm the applicant’s identity. Using this service is a practical and secure way to track the progress of your process.
3. Keep your records updated: It is advisable to constantly review emails and official correspondence you have registered throughout the process. If you have doubts about the authenticity of the information or are not sure about your case status, contact the NVC directly through official service channels.

Always remember the importance of following United States immigration laws and acting cautiously. Seek information only from official sources and avoid falling for scams or marketing campaigns that promise miraculous solutions. Proper monitoring of your case requires care and attention, and consulting specialized companies-always verifying their credibility-can be additional support to clarify doubts and guide the next steps without promising guaranteed results.

Staying informed is the key to a smooth process aligned with the legal immigration guidelines. This way, you will be better prepared to safely advance to the next stage of your visa process.
