Immigrant Visa Issuance

Immigrant visa issuance through consular processing refers to the procedure where individuals outside the U.S. apply for a visa to enter the country permanently. After receiving an approved petition (like a family or work sponsorship), applicants must complete forms and attend an interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy. During the interview, a consular officer evaluates eligibility based on various factors, including security checks and financial stability. If approved, the individual receives a visa, allowing them to travel to the U.S. and become a lawful permanent resident upon arrival.
