Immigrant Visa Forms
Persons with petitions which were approved before the current priority date for their visa category should have received an instruction package from the National Visa Center.
The package sent by the National Visa Center includes a number of forms, two of which must be returned the Embassy before an appointment can be scheduled (forms DS-230 part 1).
These forms should only be sent to us when you have collected all the required documents and are ready for your interview. You may mail or fax these forms to us. Click here to see our contact information.
Also, do not schedule your medical examination until you have been told that your case is at the embassy and ready for processing. Please remember that all medical examinations must be conducted by our panel physicians. See the packets below for information on how to contact a panel physician.
