Fourth, the interview results

After the interview, the passport will be sent to the address provided by the applicant on the DS230 form within 2 weeks. Most visas are valid for six months. So applicants can have six months to prepare for going to the United States. But for some reason, it will be less than 6 months. Please pay attention to the validity of your visa.

Don't open the visa bag. When you enter the United States, you need to give the visa package to the immigration officer intact. Please be sure to enter the United States before the visa expires. The purpose of an immigrant visa is to allow you to legally enter the United States and obtain legal residence status.

If the interview is not approved, the beneficiary will receive a blue list. You can mail the prepared materials to the consulate. Then wait for the next notice from the consulate.
