## How to apply

1. **File the I-360 petition**. Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant, goes to USCIS: in some subcategories your employer files it, in others you file it yourself, and some can be filed online. Whoever files it pays USCIS $515. No labor certification is needed. Certain employees of the U.S. Government abroad use Form DS-1884 instead. https://www.uscis.gov/i-140 [4][5][6][7][8][3][9]
2. **The National Visa Center takes your case**. When USCIS approves the petition, your case goes to the National Visa Center (NVC). Log in to ceac.state.gov for your case status and the list of documents you must submit. https://ceac.state.gov/IV/ [10][11]
3. **Pay the NVC fees**. The first thing after the NVC Welcome Letter: pay $205 for each immigrant, and the Affidavit of Support fee. https://ceac.state.gov/IV/ [2][13][14]
4. **Your sponsor signs the Affidavit of Support**. With Form I-864, your sponsor accepts financial responsibility for you in the United States. It is legally enforceable. https://www.uscis.gov/i-864 [15][16]
5. **Your sponsor gathers the financial evidence**. Each financial sponsor gathers evidence of their finances and the other supporting documents for the Affidavit of Support. [17]
6. **Fill in the DS-260 application**. You and each family member immigrating with you fill in the DS-260 online. Print its confirmation page and bring it to the interview. https://ceac.state.gov/IV/ [18]

11. **Book the visa appointment**. The appointment for your visa interview. At the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your home country. You book it online, where you also select your visa type, add dependents and confirm the visa payment. Keep the appointment letter that confirms your booking, because you present it at the interview. [28]
12. **Register online for the return of your passport**. Your registration gives the Embassy the correct information to return your passport and documents after the interview. Before your visa interview appointment. [23]
13. **Have the medical exam**. You and each family member applying with you see an embassy-approved doctor, the panel physician, in the country of the interview. [29]

16. **The consular officer decides on your visa**. If the visa is approved, you may pay a visa issuance fee, if one applies to your nationality. You are told how your passport with the visa will be returned to you. [31]
17. **Get your passport with the U.S. visa**. If your visa is approved, the passport comes back through the courier service. You get an email or a text message once the passport is ready. [23]

## Questions? Answers.

### How much does the EB-4 visa cost in Kosovo?

$205 for each special immigrant, to the U.S. Department of State, on an approved I-360. Whoever files the I-360 pays USCIS $515 for most petitions. [2][8]

### Who can get an EB-4 visa?

Special immigrants: among them religious workers, certain broadcasters, certain employees of the U.S. government abroad and their families, retired employees of international organizations, and members of the U.S. armed forces. [34][4][7]

### Can a religious worker get an EB-4 visa?

Yes, as a minister of religion or as a worker in a religious vocation or occupation. For at least 2 years before the petition you must have been a member of the denomination and worked continuously in that work. [5][35][6]

### Is there a wait for the EB-4 visa from Kosovo?

Yes, by priority date. Only applicants whose priority date is earlier than the Visa Bulletin’s final action date for the fourth preference and for certain religious workers can get the visa now; Kosovo is in the column for all countries not listed. [3][36]

### What are the U.S. employment-based immigrant visa categories (EB-1 to EB-5)?

Five, with about 140,000 visas each fiscal year. EB-1 is for people of extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, and multinational managers. EB-2 for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability. EB-3 for skilled workers, professionals and other workers. EB-4 for special immigrants, such as religious workers. EB-5 for investors in a new U.S. business that creates jobs. [3]

### What is the priority date for a U.S. employment-based immigrant visa?

The day your petition was filed. Visas are issued in that order until each category’s yearly limit is reached, and yours cannot be issued before your priority date is reached. In some heavily oversubscribed categories that takes several years. The Visa Bulletin shows the latest dates. [3]

### How does a U.S. immigrant visa start?

Usually with a petition. A U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative files Form I-130, or a U.S. employer files Form I-140, with USCIS. USCIS must approve it before your case moves to the National Visa Center (NVC). [37]

### What happens after USCIS approves the petition?

USCIS sends your case to the National Visa Center (NVC). NVC creates it and sends you a Welcome Letter, with which you log in to CEAC. There you pay the fees and submit the forms and documents, and NVC reviews them before an interview can be scheduled. In categories with a yearly limit, you wait until a visa number is available for your priority date, the day the petition was filed. [10]

### Which civil documents do I need for a U.S. immigrant visa?

A birth certificate, marriage and divorce certificates, and police certificates if you are 16 or older. They must be issued by the official authority in your country. Documents not in English, or in the official language of the country where you apply, need a certified translation. [19][20]

### Who must attend the U.S. immigrant visa interview?

You, the principal applicant, at any age, and each family member immigrating with you who is at least 14 on the day of the interview. A family member with their own case number attends at any age. Your petitioner does not need to attend. [21]

### How do I check the status of my U.S. visa application?

On the State Department’s Visa Status Check, at ceac.state.gov. Choose your visa type, then enter your passport number and the first five letters of your surname. [38]

### Can anyone guarantee a U.S. visa?

No. Any claim that someone can guarantee a visa is fraudulent. A consular officer decides at the interview whether you qualify. [39]

## More questions, answered in the chat

### Can an employee of the U.S. Embassy get an EB-4 visa?

Certain employees or former employees of the U.S. Government abroad can, with Form DS-1884 instead of the I-360. (Employment-Based Immigrant Visas: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/employment-based-immigrant-visas.html, 2026-10-11; Employment-Based Immigration: Fourth Preference EB-4: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/permanent-workers/employment-based-immigration-fourth-preference-eb-4, 2026-10-28)

### How much does the I-360 petition for the EB-4 visa cost?

Whoever files it, you or your employer, pays USCIS $515 for most I-360 petitions. Some special immigrants pay nothing, Amerasians among them. (G-1055, Fee Schedule: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/g-1055.pdf, 2026-10-28; Employment-Based Immigration: Fourth Preference EB-4: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/permanent-workers/employment-based-immigration-fourth-preference-eb-4, 2026-10-28)

### Can my spouse and children get U.S. employment-based immigrant visas with me?

Yes. On your approved petition, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can apply with you. Each of them fills in the forms, brings civil documents, pays the fees and has the medical exam. (Employment-Based Immigrant Visas: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/employment-based-immigrant-visas.html, 2026-10-11)

### I have dual citizenship. Which passport do I use to travel to the United States?

If one of them is a U.S. passport, that one. Every U.S. citizen, dual citizens too, must enter and leave the United States on a U.S. passport. A U.S. citizen is not eligible for a visa. (About Visas - The Basics: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html, 2026-10-11)

### Who fills in the DS-260, and when?

You and each family member immigrating with you, each their own. It opens after the fees are paid and CEAC shows ‘PAID’. Print the confirmation page and bring it to the interview. (Step 6: Complete Online Visa Application (DS-260): https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-6-complete-online-visa-application.html, 2026-10-11)

### Can I fill in the DS-260 in my own language?

No. All answers must be in English, using English characters only. An application in another language may be rejected, and you will have to log back in to CEAC and answer in English. (DS-260 Immigrant Visa Electronic Application - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/forms/online-immigrant-visa-forms/ds-260-faqs.html, 2026-10-11)

### Which fees do I pay to the NVC for a U.S. immigrant visa?

Two: the immigrant visa application processing fee and the Affidavit of Support fee, which a small number of cases do not pay. You pay them online in CEAC, one at a time, from a U.S. bank account. Allow 10 calendar days for NVC to process them; the DS-260 opens only after that. (Step 3: Pay Fees: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-3-pay-fees.html, 2026-10-11)

### Do I bring the original documents to the interview?

Yes. Even though you uploaded copies, bring the original paper versions. Without them the consular officer cannot complete your interview or issue a visa. The originals are returned to you after the interview. (Civil Documents FAQs: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/civil-documents-faq.html, 2026-10-14; Step 11: Applicant Interview: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/step-11-applicant-interview.html, 2026-10-11)

### Do I need a medical examination for a U.S. immigrant visa?

Yes, you and each family member applying with you, before the interview. It must be done by the embassy-approved panel physician in the country where you will be interviewed; exams by other doctors are not accepted. If the doctor gives you a sealed envelope, do not open it: bring it to the interview. (Step 10: Prepare for the Interview: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview.html, 2026-10-11)

### What are the photo requirements for a U.S. visa?

2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm), in color, in front of a plain white or off-white background, taken within the last 6 months, showing how you look now, and without eyeglasses. Glasses are allowed only in rare medical cases, with a statement signed by a medical professional. (Photo Requirements: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos.html, 2026-10-11; Photo Frequently Asked Questions: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos/frequently-asked-questions.html, 2026-10-11)

### What happens at the U.S. immigrant visa interview?

You go to the embassy or consulate with the DS-260 confirmation page. A consular officer interviews you and the family members immigrating with you and decides whether you are eligible for an immigrant visa. Digital fingerprints are taken, without ink. (Step 11: Applicant Interview: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/step-11-applicant-interview.html, 2026-10-11)

### My visa was refused under 221(g). What does it mean?

That the officer did not yet have everything needed to decide. You are told which documents are missing and how to send them; send them within 1 year of the refusal, or you must apply again and pay the fee again. Sometimes it means administrative processing instead, and the embassy contacts you when it is done. (Visa Denials: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/visa-denials.html, 2026-10-11)
