After you have completed the steps on the Immigrant Visa Process on usvisas.state.gov, including paying the necessary fees and submitting the required immigrant visa application form (DS-260), Affidavit of Support, and supporting documents to the National Visa Center (NVC), they will review your file for completeness. Once your case becomes qualified for an interview, NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem to schedule an interview appointment for you.
You can learn more about the interview process on usvisas.state.gov. In addition, our checklist for Immigrant Visa Interview in English, as well as our Fastlane tips to speed your interview, are available in English (PDF-500KB), Arabic (PDF-487KB) and Hebrew (PDF-716KB).
Registering for Courier
As soon as your petition is approved by USCIS and you are notified by NVC of the receipt of your file, you must register with a courier service by visiting the following website: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-il/iv . Registering will allow us to send you the appointment letter and will allow you to track the delivery status of your documents, especially your immigrant visa when issued. Please note that you will not receive any documentation from our office if you do not register. Registration is not complete until you select one of the designated courier services.
After the Interview
If your visa has been approved, your passport and visa will be returned to you within two weeks by the courier service you selected before your interview. Carefully review After the Interview on usvisas.state.gov to learn what to do when you receive your visa, as well as guidance on entering the United States, paying the USCIS Immigrant Fee, and other important information.
