Consular Processing

Individuals living in another country can apply for a green card (permanent residency) or a visa for the United States if they have a family member who is legally residing in the USA and is petitioning on their behalf. In order the get a green card or visa from abroad, an individual who is the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition and has an immigrant visa number immediately available may apply at a U.S. Department of State consulate abroad for an immigrant visa in order to come to the United States and be admitted as a permanent resident. This pathway is referred to as Consular Processing.
