NVC processing times updated: how long does your immigrant visa take in the US? 

Waiting for news from the National Visa Center (NVC) about your immigrant visa? It is essential to know the updated processing times to plan your trip to the United States. In this article, we provide you with key dates and practical tips to track your case.

Case creation: how long does the NVC take?

Once the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approves your petition, it sends it to the NVC. According to immigration expert Jobry Zaldívar, on her channel YouTube, the NVC is creating cases for petitions received from USCIS on February 19, 2025 or earlier. This means that if your case was approved and sent to the NVC before this date, you should receive your case number and the Invoice ID soon to access the CEAC platform (ceac.gov).

Documentation review: update of NVC wait times

After making the payments and uploading the required documents to CEAC, the NVC must review them. Currently, they are reviewing documents sent on February 21, 2025, or earlier. If you submitted your documents on this date and have not yet received a response, check your message inbox on the NVC platform.

Response to inquiries: When will the NVC respond?

If you sent an inquiry about your case, the NVC is responding to those sent on February 26, 2025, or earlier. If your inquiry was sent on this date, expect a response soon. If the estimated time has passed, send a new inquiry to the NVC to check the status of your case.
