The ideal outcome is for your immigrant visa application to be approved after you participate in the interview process. If this is the case for you, congratulations! There are just a few things that you need to do first before receiving your visa and traveling to the United States.

You will receive your immigrant visa on a page in your passport. Be sure to review the information printed in it as soon as possible to check for any errors. If you notice any spelling or other errors, you should contact the consulate or embassy immediately to get the errors corrected.

Next, you will need to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) once you receive your visa and prior to traveling to the United States. You will not be issued a Permanent Resident Card until you pay this fee.
