  • In this video, I go through the 12 Steps of the Immigrant Visa Process in order to become a permanent resident. I explain how to apply for an immigrant visa from outside of the United States, how to submit your documents to the National Visa Center (NVC), what you need in order to prepare for the interview at the Embassy, and what to do after the interview once your immigrant visa is approved.

    (formally Truth 59) I watched this video when you initially uploaded it Stephanie but I had not received my approval notice at that time. I finally got my approval and just paid the fees :) just waiting to be able to complete the Affidavit of support and the DS-260 and upload all civil documents. I reverted back to your video which clarifies all the steps which were so informative and clear. Hopefully I won't have to wait much longer once the documents have been approved to receive my interview at the embassy. Thank you so much again for taking the time to upload this video. Your video's are the best!

    Two update :One is the affidavit of support is required to bring with you to the interview and two you don't have to pay for your green card before the interview you can do it once you reach the USA just be mindful that the longer you take to pay it's a longer wait time to get it

    I do have one question that has been bugging me. My wife and I recently received approval notice from USCIS and welcome email from NVC. My wife is currently in Africa and I am stationed in Germany. I planned on utilizing the SOFA visa that allows spouse/dependents to stay with service member in foreign country. This will be done while we continue with the NVC processing.
    Is it pissible to change embassy visa interview location from one country to another? How is the process like? Do I have to make a special request?

      Sagittarius 82 USCIS already Did their work by approving your petition and moved forward to NVC. As you stated you already received approval email from NVC (Assuming you’ve already paid fees, submitted civil documents and financial support documents). NVC ll assign you an interview date and they ll schedule your interview at nearest US CONSULATE/Embassy when they’ll open up.
      (Usually NVC don’t send approval emails if documents are under review so double check)
      Sit tight and wait for embassies to open.
