Approval of a nonimmigrant petition means that the person for whom it was filed has been found eligible for the requested classification. If this notice indicated we are notifying a U.S. Consulate about the approval for the purpose of visa issuance, and you or the person you filed for have questions about visa issuance, please contact the appropriate U.S. Consulate directly. APPROVAL OF AN IMMIGRANT PETITION. Approval of an immigrant petition does not convey any right or status. The approved petition simply establishes a basis upon which the person you filed for can apply for an immigrant or fiance(e) visa or for adjustment of status. A person is not guaranteed issuance of a visa or a grant of adjustment simply because this petition is approved. Those processes look at additional criteria. If this notice indicates we have approved the immigrant petition you filed, and have forwarded it to the Department of State Immigrant Visa Processing Center, that office will contact the person you filed the petition for directly with information about visa issuance. In addition to the information on the reverse of this notice, the instructions for the petition you filed provide additional information about processing after approval of the petition. For more information about whether a person who is already in the U.S. can apply for adjustment of status, please see Form 1-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.
