If you or a family member is living outside the United States, you can apply for an immigrant visa through the U.S. Department of State in order to come to the U.S. and be admitted as a Lawful Permanent Resident (green card holder) or U.S. Citizen. This process is known as “consular processing” as it is done through a U.S. Consulate or Embassy abroad. It is the process for obtaining an immigrant visa to enter the U.S. as a Lawful Permanent Resident or U.S. Citizen.

Although adjustment of status is the preferred process for immigrating to the U.S., there are many situations in which consular processing is the only available option under the law, so many immigrants will still have to leave the U.S. to become a Lawful Permanent Resident. At Rodriguez Figueroa law, we offer legal assistance in Consular Processing. Our professional experience can give you the best chance for avoiding denials, delays or other challenges.
