What Is Consular Processing?

Consular processing is a critical pathway for individuals outside the United States who wish to apply for lawful permanent residency (green card status). After a visa petition is approved by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the case is transferred to a U.S. Department of State consulate or embassy in the applicant's home country. From there, an interview is scheduled to determine final eligibility. Working with a knowledgeable consular processing lawyer in Atlanta can help ensure that no detail is overlooked.

We help clients facing issues involving criminal history, prior removals, inadmissibility waivers, and complex family dynamics. Our goal is to minimize delays and reduce the risk of denial at the consular interview stage.

We understand the complexity of working with the National Visa Center, the role of the consul, and the specific documentation required. Our Atlanta-based consular processing attorneys work closely with clients to prepare for interviews, collect the right evidence, and submit well-organized applications.

Who Needs Consular Processing?

Consular processing may apply if you are:

Living outside the United States and seeking an immigrant visa
A spouse, fiancé, child, or parent of a U.S. citizen or green card holder
An employee sponsored by a U.S. employer
A refugee or individual seeking adjustment of status from abroad

If you are currently in the U.S. and eligible, you may consider adjustment of status instead. We also assist with options like Marriage & Fiancé Visas and other pathways based on family or employment.

What to Expect During Consular Processing

Once your petition is approved by USCIS, the case moves to the National Visa Center (NVC). You will be required to:

Complete Form DS-260 (Immigrant Visa Application)
Submit civil and financial documents
Pay required fees
Attend a medical examination
Prepare for your interview at the U.S. consulate or embassy

An experienced immigrant visa attorney in Atlanta can help you understand the timeline, avoid costly mistakes, and be fully prepared for the consular officer’s questions.

Legal Support for Complicated Visa Cases

Some cases require a waiver of inadmissibility or a legal response to a past criminal charge, misrepresentation, or removal order. Our immigration attorneys can help you file the necessary waivers and appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals or the Executive Office for Immigration Review, as needed. We represent clients facing removal proceedings, navigating deportation risks, or attempting to reunite with family after years of separation.
