Consular processing is the procedure for applying for an immigrant visa (green card) through a U.S. embassy or consulate in a foreign country. It is one of two paths for obtaining an immigrant visa through family-based immigration, with the other being adjustment of status. If the applicant is outside the United States, consular processing is the only available path to immigrate.
At Attorney Sheila Rivera, we guide you through every step of this complex process, ensuring that your application is complete, accurate, and submitted on time. Our goal is to help you reunite with your family and achieve your dream of living in the United States.
Visa Availability and Documentation: Once a visa becomes available and the National Visa Center (NVC) receives the DS-260 form along with all required supporting documents, the consular office will schedule an interview for the beneficiary.
Consular Interview: During the interview, a consular officer will review the applicant’s case and determine eligibility for an immigrant visa.
Visa Approval: If approved, the beneficiary will receive an immigrant visa (green card) and a “Visa Packet,” which contains important information for entering the United States.
Our experienced team will assist you in preparing for the interview, gathering necessary documents, and ensuring that you are fully prepared to navigate this critical step in your immigration journey.
