If you have followed all the instructions and paid all of the fees, your case may be approved or rejected. The USCIS updates your case status online according to specific processing times. Processing times are a huge contributor to your case status and give you an estimate of how long your case will take before the decision of approval or rejection is made. The USCIS updates processing times monthly. ..
How to check your Case Status?
How can you check the status of your immigration case? You can check the status of your immigration case on their website https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do by entering your receipt number which has thirteen characters, three of them being letters and the rest being numbers. When entering the receipt number, hyphens/dashes is omitted and other characters included, for example, * as long as it is part of the receipt number. ..
Processing times and how they work?
The Processing time is the amount of time it takes USCIS to update 80% of cases that have been adjudicated in the last six months. This is simply how long, in months or days, has elapsed since USCIS received your petition/application/request. ..
To check the processing time for your specific case, visit their website and choose the form and form category that has your case from the drop-down menu as well as your service center/the field office that is processing your case (found on your receipt).
What happens when your Petition is approved by the USCIS?
After the USCIS approves your petition, they will transfer your case to the Department of States National Visa Center. There, they will create an original case for you in their system and after that is completed you will receive a welcome letter. Once you receive the welcome letter, you will be required to pay a processing fee that is to be paid from a U.S checking or savings account.
There are two types of processing fees: the Affidavit of Support Fee and the Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee. The processing of your payment will take about a week, and your financial sponsor is allowed to fill the Affidavit of Support as a requirement. On completion of the form by the sponsor or sponsors, they will need to provide evidence of their finances along with supporting documents. ..
The next step is the completion of the online visa application (DS-260) which is to be filled by you, the immigrating party, and submitted. The confirmation page must be printed and brought to the visa interview. You will then collect the civil documents that support your visa application, scan them, and submit them. After this preparation for the interview is to begin, followed by attending the actual interview. If unfortunately your visa is rejected you will be notified of the reasons by the consular.
