Is there an interview at the NVC?

Let’s start by understanding that the immigration process to the United States can involve different stages and agencies, each with specific functions. In the case of the EB-4 visa, which covers special immigrant categories, it is common to have questions about how and where interviews are conducted.

In general, the National Visa Center (NVC) mainly acts as a document processing center. This means its role is to collect, review, and forward the necessary forms and documents to the next step of the process, which is the consular interview. The NVC does not conduct the interviews themselves. Thus, the interview, when required, is held at the U.S. embassy or consulate in the applicant’s country of residence, not at the NVC facilities.

It is important to make it clear that each case may have its own particularities, and therefore, it is crucial to follow the official guidelines and updates issued by the U.S. Department of State. Complying with immigration laws and seeking information from reliable sources helps avoid complications and protects against scams and unfounded promises circulating especially on the internet.

Always remember to inform yourself based on official sources and be cautious with marketing campaigns that guarantee unusual results. Staying updated and attentive to the guidance from competent authorities is a crucial step for a smooth immigration process in compliance with U.S. laws.
