The immigration process to the United States under the ”Family Based” category includes communication from the National Visa Center (NVC) with the beneficiary, which is vital to guide them about the steps and required documents.

The NVC primarily contacts via email, provided the beneficiary has supplied a valid address, sending detailed instructions, fees, and necessary documents. It is essential to regularly check both the inbox and the spam folder.

There may also be contact through postal mail or, in exceptional cases, by phone for urgent clarifications. Strictly following the instructions and keeping information updated is crucial.

Caution is recommended regarding suspicious offers; always seek official sources and experts to avoid scams and ensure a safe and smooth process.
