If an applicant is preparing for immigration to the United States he or she is required to go through certain procedures. A petition has to be submitted to the immigration authorities. Once the petition is approved the priority date has to be checked. After this the processing at the National Visa Centre begins and the fees need to be paid for the same. One of the steps in the process is the Immigration Medical Examination that is carried out later.

After the necessary fees have been paid the required immigrant visa application along with the Affidavit of Support and the supporting documents to the National Visa Centre which will then be reviewed for completeness. Once the case becomes qualified for the interview the National Visa Centre will work with the appropriate US Embassy or Consulate where the appointment will next be scheduled.

THE INTERVIEW

An interview appointment letter is sent to the applicant as well as to the petitioner as well as the applicant that will notify the applicant about the date, time and location of the interview. It has to be noted that a wait of several months for an interview date will become available.

An immigration medical examination has to be then carried out for the applicant.
