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.
