Upon obtaining the approval of Form I-360, the case is forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC), which will continue processing the EB-4 visa. It is important to note that there is no fixed universal timeframe for the NVC’s contact – this period can vary depending on the workload of the center, the specific type of case, and other administrative factors.

In many cases, applicants may receive contact from the NVC within a few months, but the exact timing may differ for each situation. After the I-360 approval, it is common for the NVC to review the process and ensure that all necessary documentation is in order.

When the NVC contacts you, it will provide detailed instructions on the next steps, including the collection of forms, fees, and scheduling consular interviews, when applicable. During this period, it is essential to keep your contact information updated in the records so you do not miss any important communications.

It is worth emphasizing the importance of strictly following U.S. immigration laws and seeking information from official sources. If the process seems confusing, it is always recommended to seek support from specialized professionals, taking care not to fall victim to scams or marketing campaigns promising immediate or guaranteed results.

Remember that each case is unique and that complying with official guidelines is indispensable for the success of the process.
