The Consular Processing Procedure
Consular processing is one of the ways you can immigrate to the United States on a family-basis. This is the only way to apply if you are applying from outside of the U.S. You must have either an immediate family member or be considered “family preference” in order to immigrate for family reasons.
Family preference candidates include:
- Unmarried children ages 21 and up or citizens or permanent residents
- Spouses and unmarried children (under 21) or permanent residents
- Married children of citizens
- Brothers and sisters of citizens
You will need to file an immigration petition or have someone file it on your behalf. Immigration will then come get back to you with their decision. If approved, you will be scheduled for a meeting at the consular office.
While this can be a complex and confusing process, with the help of a seasoned immigration lawyer, you can be confident that your visa and green card application will be handled as smoothly as possible.
