Consular Processing

Allows applicants outside the U.S. to apply for a visa or green card at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad.

What is Consular Processing?

Consular Processing is the method by which individuals outside the United States apply for an immigrant visa or green card at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country. This process is commonly used by family-sponsored or employment-based applicants who are not eligible to adjust status within the U.S. It involves submitting the required petitions and supporting documents to USCIS, which are then forwarded to the relevant consulate for further processing.

We guide clients through every step of Consular Processing, from preparing and submitting the petition to scheduling and preparing for the consular interview. Our team ensures all documentation is accurate and complete, addresses any requests for additional evidence, and helps applicants understand the steps required for visa issuance and lawful entry into the United States.

Guided by Procedure

Assess eligibility, visa category, and required documentation for consular processing.

Submit the immigrant petition (e.g., Form I-130 or I-140) to USCIS on behalf of the applicant.

Once approved, USCIS forwards the case to the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate abroad.

Gather civil documents, financial affidavits, and supporting evidence for the consular interview.

Coordinate the interview appointment and guide the applicant on procedures and required documents.

Upon approval, receive the immigrant visa and enter the U.S., completing the process for permanent residency.
