Yönetmeliklere göre de kesin olarak böyle görünüyor. Benim anlamadığım nasıl olur da yukarıdaki hanımın case'inde NVC, Visa Bulletin'de Current olunmadan önce Welcome Letter gönderip DS-260 formu doldurtuyor. Hem de mülakattan 2 sene önce. Professional kategorisi diye desem, yönetmelik onda da aynı. Demek ki arada böyle gariplikler yapıyorlar ya da kurumlar arasında bir kopukluk falan var.
The National Visa Center (NVC) typically reaches out to applicants to complete the DS-260 form as part of the consular processing of an immigrant visa application after the applicant's priority date becomes current according to the Visa Bulletin's "Final Action Dates." The DS-260, also known as the Online Immigrant Visa Application, collects personal and background information from applicants seeking an immigrant visa to the United States.
Here's a general timeline of when the NVC might contact you to complete the DS-260 form:
Priority Date Becomes Current: Your priority date must become current in the Visa Bulletin's "Final Action Dates" chart for your specific visa category and country of chargeability.
NVC Processing: Once your priority date is current, the NVC will begin processing your case. They will send you a "Welcome Letter" that provides instructions on how to proceed with the consular processing of your immigrant visa application.
Submit Affidavit of Support (AOS): As part of the initial processing, you'll need to submit the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) and supporting documents to the NVC. The NVC will review these documents to ensure they meet the requirements.
Receive Instructions for DS-260: After the NVC reviews your Affidavit of Support and supporting documents, they will send you further instructions to complete the DS-260 form online. This step is usually conducted after the Affidavit of Support review to ensure that you are eligible to proceed with the next phase of the process.
Complete DS-260 Form: Using the instructions provided by the NVC, you will access the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) website and complete the DS-260 form. This form gathers personal, family, and background information.
Submit DS-260 Form: After completing the DS-260 form, you will submit it online. You will also need to upload any required supporting documents, such as passport-sized photos and civil documents.
Further Processing: Once you've submitted the DS-260 form and any additional required documentation, the NVC will continue processing your case. This includes reviewing your documents and scheduling your visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate.
It's important to note that processing times and procedures can vary based on individual circumstances, the visa category, and other factors. The NVC will provide you with specific instructions based on your case, so it's essential to carefully follow their guidance.
