ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR APPLICANT/PETITIONER Please save this Form 1-797, Notice of Action (approval notice) for your records. Please note that simply filing an application, petition or request, or having an approved petition does not give the person it was filed for (also known as the beneficiary) permission to legally enter the United States. It also does not grant any legal immigration status. Include a copy of this notice If you: • Write to USCIS or a U.S. Consulate about your case or • File another application or petition with USCIS based on this decision. USCIS will notify you separately about any other applications or petitions you have filed. Inquiries If you have questions about your application or petition, you may: • Go to https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus to check your case status online. • Call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800-375.5283. • Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD): 1-800-767-1833. • Send us a letter and include a copy of this notice. • Schedule an appointment at a local USCIS office using InfoPass at https://infopass.uscis.gov.

APPROVAL OF A NONIMMIGRANT PETITION If we approved a nonimmigrant petition, it means that the beneficiary is eligible for the requested nonimmigrant classification. If this notice says that we are notifying a U.S. Consulate about the approval for the purpose of issuing a visa, contact the appropriate U.S. Consulate directly if you or the beneficiary has questions about the process. APPROVAL OF AN IMMIGRANT PETITION An approved immigrant petition does not grant any legal immigration status or guarantee that the beneficiary will receive a visa or an adjustment of status. The approved petition means the beneficiary can: • Apply for an immigrant or fiance(e) visa if he or she is outside the United States, or • Apply for adjustment of status as a permanent resident if he or she is already in the United States. If this notice states we approved your immigrant petition and forwarded it to the National Visa Center INVC), the NVC will directly contact the beneficiary with information about how to apply for a visa. If any changes occur that could affect visa eligibility, visit the NVC website at http://nvc.state.gov/ask to find contact information and a public inquiry form.
