NVC Case: MNL2004778093

Dear Sir/Madam:

You have been designated to act as agent for the referenced immigrant visa petition of JOSEPH
GUTIERREZ ALVAREZ. The Immigrant Visa Processing Fee(s) ($400.00 for each applicant) indicated
on the enclosed fee bill invoice(s) must be paid before petition processing can continue. An invoice for
each eligible applicant is enclosed.

Payment Instructions:

1. DO NOT send fee payments to the National Visa Center's Portsmouth, New Hampshire facility.
This will DELAY processing of the visa petition.
2. Go to www.ImmigrantVisas.state.gov and click the "Fee Collection" link, then click the
"OnlinePayment" link, and follow the instructions displayed.
3. Three days after making the online payment(s) you must:
a. Return to the Online Payment website to view your payment receipt, which will give you
instructions for the next step. You can print a copy for your records. DO NOT send a copy to
the NVC.
b. Print a copy of the "Document Cover Sheet" for each fee paid, or save a PDF copy to print
later.
c. When the IV fee status indicates PAID, follow the link to "Applicant Document Processing
Instructions", and follow the instructions displayed for each sponsor.

Payers who are unable to pay online must follow alternative payment instructions. Go to
www.ImmigrantVisas.state.gov and click the "Fee Collection" link, then the "Alternative Payment
Method" link, and then follow the directions displayed.

Important Notes:

1. If you did not receive a fee bill for any applicant who should be listed on this case, DO NOT
send a fee payment for the applicant. Instead, contact the NVC.
2. If a period of one year passes without communication to the NVC, all documents and fees
expire and must be resubmitted to resume the immigration process.
3. If the applicant's intention is to adjust status with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS), please contact the NVC before taking further action or making any payments.
4. Children who pass 21 years of age after the petition was originally approved by the USCIS
become ineligible to accompany or join the applicant(s) immigrating to the United States
under the original petition. In some situations, the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) may
allow children to remain eligible beyond 21 years of age. If you believe that the CSPA
applies to this case, please send a detailed explanation to the NVC. We will forward it to the
U.S. Embassy/Consulate General for a decision.

Sincerely,

Director
National Visa Center
