Friends. What are some of the things that you can do to keep the communication going
between you and the NVC to ensure that they don't terminate your case prematurely? That's
what I'm going to talk about in this video, but before I get into it, thank you guys so
much for watching this video, firstly, and thank you for being a follower or subscriber.
If you have not yet subscribed to this channel, McBean immigration TV, go ahead and do so
right now, hit the notification bell. Then hop over to Instagram, follow me there or
Facebook at McMeen immigration law friends. Let's get into this topic. This is really
for those of you who are going through the council air process, right? You have to go
to the us embassy to get an immigrant visa, to come to the U S or you may be here and
you cannot adjust your status.
Why not? Maybe because you're an adult over 21, a parent petitioned for you and you have
unlawful presence in the United States. You applied for the unlawful presence waiver,
the [inaudible] that's been approved. And now you have to go back to your home country
to be interviewed at the us embassy there, get the visa and then come back in. So this
applies to you guys as well. Now what happens friends is that typically people start the
NVC process, right? The NVC, the national visa center invites you to pay the application
fee and to pay the affidavit of support fee so that they could then open up the application
that [inaudible] to you. And you may start the process with them, but for one reason
or another, you stop, perhaps you are having a difficult time getting the documents that
you need to get in time to submit to them, or perhaps there's some other personal circumstance
going on with you that prevents you from really moving your application forward within a year
because the government gives you one year to complete that visa application.
Once your priority date comes up. So now you're delayed. You have to maintain communication
with them, friends. Otherwise they will think you've abandoned your application and they
will terminate it. And it's a hassle to get it reopened. We can do it. We've done it before.
We've had visa applications reinstated, but in most cases you will need a lawyer to help
you with that process. Now let's get into my four tips on ways that you can easily maintain
communication with the NVC so that they don't terminate the process for you. The first thing
that you can do friends is pay a fee, pay that fee that they've asked you to pay in
the beginning, right? The visa application fee and the affidavit of support fee pay the
fees. That's easy. They will keep it active for at least another year. The second thing
that you can do friends is you can submit a document to them, to CX system.
You could upload a document. So as long as you're touching your file periodically, that's
a good signal to the government that you intend on. Keeping things going. That's a good sign
for your application. The third thing that you can do is you can submit an online inquiry,
right? You can go to the ask NVC form and I'll put up the link to that form. You could
go to that form, submit some sort of inquiry to them. But guys, under this coronavirus
pandemic and another video I told you that the NVC does not want to receive any emails
or any public inquiry forms asking them what's going on with my case, or have you received
this document? They don't want those forms of communication. Now, in fact, they're not
responding to those forms of communication. So don't do it during this pandemic time because
they don't have the time or the resources, the staff to handle those kinds of requests.
They're really mainly dealing with emergencies right now. Or if you want to update them about
your case, then you can use that form and say, I'm submitted something new to you to
update you guys about my case. So submit a request through the public inquiry form, which
is the ask NVC form. And then the fourth thing that you can do friends is you can simply
call them, right? They do have a really good call center that works from 7:00 AM until
12:00 PM. And so give them a call, update them on your case, let them know you're still
moving your case forward and let them know what the next step will be. Make some sort
of contact with them because when you make that contact, they will attach that communication
to your record and keep your case active. So friends, just to summarize the four things
that you can do to keep the communication going between you and NVC so that they do
not terminate your case. Number one, you can pay a fee. Number two, you could submit a
document to them. Number three, you can use their public inquiry form the ask NVC form.
And then number four, you can just simply give them a call. So friends, I hope you found
this information. Helpful. Share it with others. Let me know your thoughts below and guys I'll
see you in the next one. Bye bye.
