Is there a cost to send the petition to the NVC?

It is very important to understand each step of the immigration process to avoid surprises.

When your EB-4 case advances and the petition is approved by USCIS, it is forwarded to the NVC (National Visa Center), which continues processing the immigration documents.

Regarding the forwarding of the petition to the NVC, there is no exclusive fee for this transfer itself. However, it is essential to know that when starting the immigrant visa processing, specific fees will be charged – such as the visa application fee – which are applied during the visa review and issuance phase, not at the moment the petition is sent.

I emphasize the importance of closely monitoring updates on fees and procedures directly on the official websites of the United States Department of State and USCIS. Following these recommendations is crucial to stay in compliance with immigration laws and avoid scams.

Seek information from reliable sources and be alert to marketing campaigns promising miraculous solutions without transparency regarding the real costs and legal requirements.

Finally, staying well informed and consulting legal experts or official sources is the best way to conduct your immigration process with safety and clarity.
