Application Procedures
Employment-Based visas
Step 1
Once the labor certification is granted, the prospective employer may then file the Form I-140 (PDF #K) with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Step 2 Step 3 Step 4
The approved I-140 will be forwarded to National Visa Center (NVC) and then to U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou.
Note: Once NVC has received your immigrant visa fee, it will send you the immigrant visa instruction packet (Form DS-230) (PDF #K) along with further instructions.
Once the petition reaches the Guangzhou Consulate, and your priority date is current, it will be queued up for the visa interview.
Once the interview date is set, the Consulate will send the beneficiary an appointment packet (known as Packet 4) providing instructions on how to prepare for the interview. The beneficiary will need to have a medical exam completed at one of a list of designated hospitals (PDF #K) before the interview takes place.
