下麵是上次幫朋友發帖問的，然後我朋友就發信去問NVC，結果NVC直接回複說他們幫不了我朋友，讓聯係USCIS。現在應該怎麽辦？如果繼續聯係NVC應該怎麽解釋呢？多謝。

-Based on USCIS, your friend needs to contact NVC as I suggested. See the following at this USCIS website:

Bringing Children, Sons and Daughters to Live in the United States as Permanent Residents | USCIS

If you received the immigrant visa overseas, you may contact the National Visa Center (NVC) for follow-to-join information. Direct such inquiry by sending an e-mail to [e-mail] or by writing to the National Visa Center, ATTN: WC, 32 Rochester Ave., Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909.

It seems some rules may have been changed. USCIS will not be helpful for the following to join because your friend got the immigrant visa in China. Thus, your friend cannot file I-824 to USCIS (this is new rule).

Your friend may contact the US Consulate in Guangzhou and notify the Consulate that she got the immigrant visa in the US Consulate and then, has used the immigrant visa to enter US to become a green card holder (Lawful permanent resident). Now her spouse wants to apply for the immigrant visa by following to join. Then, ask the US Consulate what the procedure is.

Here is the link about the US Consulate contact information:

Immigrant Visa Unit - Question - U.S. Embassy & Consulates in China (usembassy-china.org.cn)

She needs to prepare the following documents in case the US Consulate ask for them later:

                   (i)     Copy of the original petition (i.e., the I-140);

(ii)    Copy of the principal applicant’s IV application (i.e., DS 260);

(iii)    Copies of civil documents for the derivative beneficiary (e.g., her spouse's birth certificate, their marriage certificate, etc.);

(IV) Copy of your friend's green card (both front and back sides) and her passport including the endorsed immigrant visa page (i.e., the immigrant visa stamped by the immigrant officer at the port of entry when she entered US).
