2016년 9월, 미국사는 지인 소개로 미국현지 이주공사와 함께 닭공장 비숙련을 신청했습니다.
2017년 1월에 노동허가서가 나왔다는 연락을 받았고,
I-140 신청을 하고 몇 개월 뒤, 한국이주공사 관련 문제들로 닭공장 비숙련이 올 스톱됐다는 이주공사의 연락을 받았습니다.
(당시 몇년이 걸릴지 모른다고 기약 없다고 하더군요)그리고 작년에 NVC에서 메일이 한통 날아왔는데요
After U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved the immigrant visa petition filed on your behalf, the U.S. Department of
State’s National Visa Center (NVC) sent you instructions for:
– Completing your immigrant visa application,
– Paying fees, and
– Submitting required documents.
Our records show that you did not submit these items and you have not contacted NVC in more than one year.
Immigrant visa applicants must apply for an immigrant visa within one year after they are notified that a visa number is available for them. Section 203(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires the U.S. Department of State to terminate the registration of any applicant who does not do so.This letter serves as notice that a visa number is available for you.
If you do not pursue your immigrant visa application at NVC within one year of the date of this letter, the U.S.
Department of State will begin the process of terminating your visa application.
Please inform NVC of your intentions by completing the Public Inquiry Form at https://nvc.state.gov/inquiry. In the “Type your
Question Below” text box, please indicate ONE of the following:
1. Yes, I wish to pursue an immigrant visa, please send me information on applying for my immigrant visa. I understand I will have
to resubmit all required fees and documents in order to continue the immigrant visa process.
2. No, I do not want to pursue my immigrant visa application because I have adjusted status. (Please attach a copy of both sides of your alien registration card.)
3. No, I do not want to pursue my immigrant visa application because I have received an immigrant visa through another petition
and am now a permanent reside. (Please attach a copy of both sides of your alien registration card.)
4. No, I do not want to pursue my immigrant visa application because I am no longer interested in immigrating to the United
States. Please attach a statement in writing directing that the petition be withdrawn. An authorized representative (the petitioner
or attorney of record) must sign it. If an attorney or accredited representative submits the request, and an executed Form G-28,
Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Representative has not been filed; they must submit one with the written statement.
5. No, I do not wish to pursue my immigrant visa for a different reason (please provide explanation).
If you do not reply to this notice within one year of the date of this letter, your immigrant visa application will begin the termination process. If you have any questions, please contact NVC by following the instructions online at nvc.state.gov/ask.I-140이 통과되었고 다음 절차를 진행해야한다는 메일이었습니다.(저는 그렇게 이해했습니다…)
비자번호도 이미 사용가능하다는데 어디서 볼 수 있는지도 모르겠고..그런데 문제는 진행을 맡았던 미국 이주공사는 진즉에 폐업을 하고 연락이 되지 않는 다는 건데요.
미국 사는 지인을 통해 이야기를 들어보니 폐업을 한 회사에서는 다른 이주공사를 통해 진행을 하라고 말을 했다고 하더군요.참으로 난감한 상황입니다..
폐업한 에이전시 말대로 새로운 이주공사를 통해 진행을 해야할까요?
비용이 또 얼마나 들지 걱정이네요혹시 잘 아시는 고수님이 계실까 싶어 조언 얻고자 글 올려봅니다.
