After USCIS approves your petition, they will transfer your case to the Department of State's National Visa Center (NVC) for pre-processing. The first step in this processing is the creation of your case in our system. Once this is complete, we will send you a Welcome Letter by e-mail or physical mail. With the information in this letter, you can log in to our Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) to check your status, receive messages, and manage your case.

在美国移民局批准了您的申请后，移民局会将其转交给国务院的国家签证中心（NVC）以进行预处理。处理流程的第一步是在系统中创建您的申请档案，创建完成后，将通过电子邮件或实体邮件向您发送“欢迎信”。通过信上的信息，您可以登录领事馆电子申请中心（CEAC）以确认您的申请受理状态、接收消息并管理您的申请档案。

Once you submit your fees, forms, and supporting documents to NVC, we will review your case to ensure you provided all the documentation required to schedule the immigrant visa interview. Interviews are based on the availability of appointments offered at the Embassy/Consulate.

一旦您向国家签证中心提交了费用、表格和旁证证件，国家签证中心将审查您的申请情况以确保您已提交安排移民签证面试所需的所有证明文件。

To determine which cases NVC is currently reviewing, please refer to the NVC Timeframes page on the right navigation bar.

Number of Visas Each Year is Limited in Some Categories

部分类别的签证发行数量每年有限制

United States law limits the number of immigrant visa numbers available each year in certain visa categories. This means that even if USCIS approves an immigrant visa petition for you, you may not get an immigrant visa number immediately. In addition, U.S. law also limits the number of visas available in certain categories by country. For limited categories, the availability of immigrant visa numbers depends on the date your petition was filed and the number of others waiting for the same visa category. The date your petition was filed is called your priority date.

美国法律限制特定签证类别的移民签证发行数量。这意味着，即使美国移民局批准了您的移民签证申请，您也未必能立即获得移民签证号。此外，美国法律还限制按国家分类的特定类别的签证发行数量。对于受限的类别，移民签证的发行数量取决于您的申请提交日期，以及同类签证的等待发放人数。您的申请提交日期被称为优先日期。

Priority dates are posted monthly on the Visa Bulletin, which provides up-to-date priority dates for cases NVC is processing. Please note that while NVC attempts to contact all applicants when their visa number is available, you can also use the Department of State’s Visa Bulletin to check whether a visa is available for your petition. If a visa is available and NVC has not yet contacted you, please let us know by using our Public Inquiry Form.

优先日期每月将在签证公告栏上发表，公告栏针对国家签证中心正在受理的申请提供最新的优先日期。请注意，国家签证中心会尝试联系所有能获得签证号的申请人，您也可以通过国务院签证排期表来查看您是否获得签证号。如果可获得签证，而国家签证中心尚未联系您，请通过公开调查表告知他们。

Important Notice: Termination of Registration:

重要通知：注册终止

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 203(g) provides that the “Secretary of State shall terminate the registration (petition) of any alien who fails to apply for an immigrant visa within one year” of notice of visa availability. The petition may be reinstated if, within two years of notice of visa availability, the alien establishes that the “failure to apply was for reasons beyond the alien’s control.”

移民与国籍法（INA）第203（g）条规定：“对于在签证可签发通知发布后一年内未能完成移民签证申请的外籍人员，国务卿应终止其注册（申请）。”如果在签证可签发通知发布后两年内，该外籍人员证明“未能申请签证是因为其无法控制的因素”，则其申请可以保留。
