Q: What do I do if I did not receive my NVC Welcome letter?
I got further information regarding my approved uscis case. It was sent to the NVC department and it seems I'm missing next steps. I never received my NVC welcome letter so I do not have my Invoice ID number to enter the portal. What can I do?
A:
If you haven't received your National Visa Center (NVC) Welcome Letter, the first step is to check if the NVC has received your case from USCIS. You can do this by contacting the NVC directly. The NVC contact information is available on the official website of the U.S. Department of State - Bureau of Consular Affairs.
When you contact the NVC, have your USCIS receipt number ready. This will help them locate your case in their system. If the NVC has received your case, they can provide you with your NVC Case Number and Invoice ID number, which are necessary to access the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC).
If there’s a delay or issue with the transmission of your case from USCIS to NVC, it may be helpful to also follow up with USCIS. Keep records of all communications for reference.
In the meantime, gather and prepare the necessary documents for your visa application so that you're ready to proceed once you have access to the CEAC. If you encounter difficulties or have concerns about the process, consider seeking assistance from an attorney with experience in immigration law. They can offer guidance specific to your situation.
