Consular Processing Interviews

Consular processing interviews are part of the U.S. immigration process for individuals applying for visas from outside the country. During these interviews, applicants visit a U.S. consulate or embassy, where a consular officer reviews their application, verifies documents, and assesses their eligibility for a visa. The officer may ask questions about the applicant's background, intentions in the U.S., and ties to their home country. The purpose is to ensure that applicants meet legal requirements and do not pose security risks. A successful interview can lead to visa approval, enabling entry to the United States.
