Consular Processing is the process by which individuals who are outside the United States apply for an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country. This is a crucial step for individuals seeking to become lawful permanent residents (green card holders) of the United States.

Our comprehensive consular processing services include, but are not limited to:

Eligibility Assessment: Our attorneys will evaluate your unique circumstances to determine whether you are eligible for consular processing and which immigrant visa category is most appropriate for your situation. We will consider factors such as your family relationships, employment, and any previous interactions with the U.S. immigration system.
B. Petition Preparation and Filing: The consular processing journey typically begins with the filing of an immigrant petition on your behalf by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family member or a U.S. employer. Our attorneys will guide you and your petitioner through the process of preparing and submitting the required forms and supporting documentation, ensuring that your case is presented in the most favorable light.
C. National Visa Center (NVC) Coordination: Once your immigrant
petition is approved, your case will be forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) for further processing. Our team will assist you in completing the required forms, submitting the necessary supporting documentation, and paying the appropriate fees. We will also coordinate with the NVC to ensure that your case is processed efficiently and that any issues or concerns are addressed promptly.
D. Consular Interview Preparation: The final step in the consular processing journey is the immigrant visa interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy. Our attorneys will help you prepare for this crucial appointment by reviewing the required documentation, providing guidance on what to expect during the interview, and offering tips for answering common questions.
