Consular Processing
Consular processing is used for an individual who is asking for entry into the U.S. as a green card holder because the family based visa is now available.
The Process
- Consular processing requires that the green card applicant attend an interview with a consulate officer in the U.S. consulate in the home country.
- These appointments are meant to determine whether an individual is admissible to the U.S.
- Inadmissibility grounds vary and are usually triggered if an individual has immigration or criminal records.
