What is Consular Processing?

Consular processing is used by foreign nationals residing outside of the United States who are applying for a visa or green card based on employment, close family sponsorship, or any other eligible categories.

Typical Steps in Consular Processing

  1. Petition filing: The process starts with the U.S. employer or close family member who is a U.S. lawful citizen or green card holder filing a petition for a visa or green card with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on behalf of the foreign national.
  2. USCIS approval: If USCIS approves the petition, it is transferred to the National Visa Center (NVC). They’ll contact the applicant about what steps they should take.
  3. Document submission: The applicant will submit the required forms and pay processing fees.
  4. Consular interview: The applicant will attend an interview at the nearest consulate or U.S. embassy.
  5. Visa granted: If approved, the applicant will submit their passport, and the appropriate visa will be added. They can then travel to the United States.

Common Issues When Dealing with a Consulate

Dealing with your local consulate could become problematic if you don’t have extensive knowledge of what is required for your particular immigration need. Common problems can include:

 

  • Missing or incomplete documents: If applicants fail to provide all of the required documents or have submitted the incorrect forms, this could lead to significant delays in an already sometimes slow process.
  • Background issues: Some applicants, especially those with former immigration violations or criminal records, may require inadmissibility waivers.
  • Visa denials: If your request has been denied, you can sometimes appeal. However, the appeals process can be quite complex and requires an immigration professional to strategize how to present a strong appeals case.
