Visa Petition

A visa petition is an official request filed with immigration authorities, usually by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, to approve a foreign individual’s ability to apply for a specific visa—such as work, family, or fiancé visas. The petition demonstrates the applicant meets eligibility requirements and establishes a basis for their entry or stay in the country. Once approved, it allows the individual to proceed with the visa application process at a consulate or embassy, ultimately enabling them to live, work, or join family members in the United States legally.
