Public Inquiry Form

Inquiry Response Time

NVC response times to public inquiries continue to be lengthy.  We ask that you make a subsequent inquiry only if you do not receive a response within our published timeframes.

Interviews

The U.S. Embassy or Consulate tells NVC which dates they are holding interviews. NVC fills these appointments on a first-in, first-out basis and cannot predict when an interview will be scheduled.

Once complete, your case will remain at NVC until an appointment is scheduled, at which time we will send it to the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate. We will notify the applicant, petitioner, and attorney (if applicable) when an appointment is scheduled.

Case status

For the most up-to-date case status, please log into the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC).

Last contact date

To update the last contact date for cases actively processing at NVC, please continue to pay fees and submit the required documents by logging into the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC).
