What Is Consular Processing?
Consular processing is the legal way to apply for a green card while living outside the U.S. After your petition is approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), your case is sent to a U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country. From there, you attend an interview, and if approved, you’ll be able to enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident.
Who Needs Consular Processing?
You may need consular processing if:
- You’re living in another country and want to move to the U.S. permanently
- A U.S. citizen or green card holder has filed a family petition for you
- You’re coming to the U.S. through an employment-based visa
- You’re applying through a special immigration category (like a fiancé(e) visa or humanitarian case)
Not sure if this applies to you? Our legal team can help you find out.
What Steps Are Involved?
The process includes several steps. We’re here to guide you through each one:
Petition Filing – A U.S. sponsor (like a family member or employer) files Form I-130 or I-140 with USCIS.
Petition Approval – If approved, your case moves to the National Visa Center (NVC).
Document Collection – You submit paperwork, including your civil documents and the Affidavit of Support.
Visa Interview – You attend an interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate in your country.
Visa Decision – If everything is approved, you receive your immigrant visa.U.S. Entry – You can now enter the U.S. and receive your green card in the mail shortly after.
