My F2B date is current, but I have not received anything from the NVC. Should I contact them or wait?

It is normal to feel a bit anxious when waiting for updates from the National Visa Center (NVC), especially when the F2B date is already current. This situation indicates that your case is nearing advancement in the process but does not guarantee that immediate notification from the NVC will occur.

In practice, the NVC may take some time to send instructions and request the necessary documentation, even after the date is current. Usually, the process goes through internal stages before the instruction packet is sent.

Meanwhile, I advise you to always follow official announcements and use official channels, such as the United States Department of State website, to check the status of your case. If the waiting time extends beyond the usual period or if you have more specific questions about your situation, it may be helpful to contact the NVC through the contacts available on the official website.

However, it is important to remember that premature contact may not speed up the process, as the NVC follows an internal schedule. I also emphasize the importance of strictly following United States immigration laws. Avoid scams or using marketing services that promise miraculous results; always seek information from official sources or duly accredited immigration professionals.

Patience and constant verification of official information are the best ways to remain calm during this process. In summary, the ideal approach is to monitor your case and wait for the NVC to contact you, reaching out only if the waiting period becomes excessively long or specific doubts arise.
