The Immigrant Visa Process

Foreigners who wish to live permanently in the United States must first obtain an immigrant visa. This is the first step to become a statutory permanent resident.

Entry to the United States is an important and complex decision. In this section you will learn about the possibilities of entry into the United States, different types of immigrant visas, necessary forms, and procedures for immigrant visa procedures. Because most immigrants are obtaining visas in the family or employment visa category, they are the focus of this section. In order to qualify for an immigrant visa, a foreigner must be sponsored by a relative of a US citizen, a permanent resident of the United States, or a future employer. Sponsor will initiate the immigration process by submitting a petition to the US Citizenship Immigration Agency (USCIS) on behalf of foreign citizens.

The IVIS application helps NVC track and process immigrant visa applications based on the needs of local authorities and the requirements set by the State Department. The procedure for issuing an entry visa will begin with the entry of immigration application to Immigration Bureau. The US Citizenship Immigration Bureau reviews and decides the application and sends the approved application to the State Council for visa processing. Distributed applications are divided into two programs, client software and server software. The client software or computer accesses data from the server or cloud environment and the server or cloud processes the data. You can use cloud computing instead of servers and hardware to process data and programs for distributed applications. If a distributed application component fails, it can fail over to other components and continue execution.

This is the only option available to foreigners outside the US. An alternative method already available to foreigners in the United States is called state adjustment ("AOS"). AOS is being discussed elsewhere on this website. Many foreigners who are already in the United States choose to adjust their identities, but those who are not qualified to adjust their identities, except when they do not have options other than completing the case through consular treatment There is also. Especially when the consular office's processing is faster than AOS (usually Canada)
