If you are residing outside the United States and seeking to obtain a green card, you will likely need to undergo consular processing. This involves applying for an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy in your home country.

Consular processing is the procedure for obtaining an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad. This process is typically required for individuals who are:
Residing in their home country or another country.
Such as through family-based petitions, employment-based petitions, or other qualifying categories.
Our team has extensive experience handling consular processing cases and understands the intricacies of the process.
Our firm is led by Raisa Cohen, a former Immigration Judge who brings unique insights and expertise to your case.
We provide individualized attention to each client and tailor our services to your specific needs.
We meticulously prepare all necessary documents and assist you in gathering the required evidence.
We can advocate on your behalf with the U.S. consulate or embassy to address any potential issues.
The consular processing procedure generally involves the following steps:
A family member or employer files an immigrant visa petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Once the petition is approved, your name is placed on a waiting list based on visa availability.
When a visa number becomes available, you will be scheduled for an interview at the U.S. consulate or embassy in your home country.
You will need to undergo a medical examination by a designated panel physician.
If you are found to be eligible for an immigrant visa, it will be issued to you.
