Immigration and the Consular Process
There are generally three parts to the consular process:
- Filing the initial petition from within the United States with the USCIS
- Working with the Department of State National Visa Center before the file is sent overseas to the appropriate U.S. Consulate
- Going through the U.S. Consulate interview process
The consular interview is brief, but it can play a critical role in your visa's acceptance or rejection. Being prepared for the interview is critical for a successful result. Our lawyer is skilled in helping clients prepare effectively for these interviews.
