IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION

Expiring Soon

Section 203(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires that your registration be canceled and any petition approved on your behalf canceled, if you do not apply for your immigrant visa within one year of being advised to do so.

You were advised of this requirement over 1 year ago, but we have not received a response from you since then. As a result, your application for a visa has been canceled and any petition approved on your behalf has also been canceled.

Your application may be reinstated and any petition revalidated if, within one year, you can establish that your failure to pursue your immigrant visa application was due to circumstances beyond your control. Please provide a written statement to the Embassy or Consulate outlining the circumstances beyond your control and noting that you still wish to pursue this visa petition.

ection 203(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires intending immigrants to pursue their visa applications within one year from the date we send official notice to a beneficiary to apply for an immigrant visa. The Instruction Package or the Appointment Package are considered the official notices that the application process must be started. If the beneficiary fails to take action on the case within a year, the visa petition is temporarily terminated. Note: petitioners, beneficiaries and their legal representatives are responsible for providing current and correct addresses to the National Visa Center (NVC) or our office to ensure that correspondence regarding visa petitions reaches beneficiaries in time.

It means you need to take an interview before your petition i-130 expires if your case is transfered to NVC and you are not taking the process forward sending documents to NVC/consulate and taking an interview. If you dont do that within a year your petition will be cancelled
