NVC One Year Contact Requirement
Hi Community,
***I am looking for just similar experiences, not legal advise***
I’d like to know if anybody had any experience regarding this One Year Contact Requirement from NVC. I submitted my I-140 that got approved on 2023 and after that I received a Welcome Letter from NVC with an invoice for application fee to be paid and move forward via consular (I think this is the only option if the visa bulletin is not current). My point is, I already submitted my AOS which is pending but this NVC Case Number is about to expire now in August. Should I communicate anything to them that now I am moving via AOS?
Thank you,

I thought you can’t have both processes running at the same. Either AOS or NVC but apparently I’m wrong if it’s working for you.

I had a similar experience before. my i140 got approved in 2023, I paid the fees and started NVC process in 2024 (less than 1 year from the welcome letter) then before completing one year, I started AOS in 2025. my attorney contacted NVC and informed them that I started AOS. my i485 just got approved two days ago. once I receive my GC, I’ll ask my attorney to close the NVC process. hope this helps
