获批后案件去哪里
USCIS批准符合领事处理的基础申请后，案件通常转往国务院国家签证中心。对受配额限制的类别，NVC推进程度还取决于签证是否可用。申请人应保存案件号、发票号和所有通知，并警惕冒充政府的收费邮件。
NVC阶段做什么
通常包括选择代理人、缴费、提交DS-260移民签证申请、经济担保或职业类相关文件，以及出生、婚姻、无犯罪记录等民事文件。不同国家文件格式要求可在国务院互惠文件指引中核对，不能只凭旧案件模板准备。
“Documentarily Complete”意味着什么
文件被NVC接受，通常表示案件在文件层面达到排队安排面试的条件，并不是移民资格已经最终批准。面试时间还受签证可用性、领馆容量和类别影响。期间家庭、地址、婚姻或刑事记录变化应及时处理。
面试前准备
申请人通常需要按指定方式完成体检，准备有效护照、面试通知、原始民事文件及案件要求的更新材料。表格递交后若工作、住址、旅行、婚姻或家庭成员发生变化，不能继续照背旧答案，应如实更新和解释。
面试后可能出现什么
领事官可能签发签证、要求补充文件、进行行政处理或作出不利决定。221(g)并不是单一结果，通知内容决定下一步。不要仅凭护照暂时被留存，就向家庭作出已经获批的承诺。
获签与首次入境
移民签证有有效期，应核对体检、护照和签证页信息，并在期限内入境。通常在持移民签证入境并获准后成为永久居民。社会安全号、移民费和实体绿卡邮寄属于后续事项，地址应保持准确。
中国民事文件要按官方口径
出生、婚姻、离婚、收养和无犯罪文件应核对国务院针对中国的文件指引。地方机关称谓或公证形式可能变化，网上旧清单未必适用。原件、翻译与DS-260中的姓名日期必须彼此对应。
Note for applicants based in China
Applicants based in China usually also need to handle three things: keeping Chinese- and English-language documents consistent, making sure funds and income can be explained with independent documentation, and managing the gap between priority-date timing and a child's age. Any packaging that doesn't match the underlying facts creates greater risk at the RFE or interview stage.
