Consular Processing

 

Many family members who immigrate to the United States begin outside of the country.  When an individual is already outside of the country or is required to return to the home country in order to receive a green card, this is known as consular processing.
​

Depending on the individual consular post and country, this method of receiving a green card can be complicated.  

 

Our firm deals with complex consular processing issues including working with individual consulates to find ways to overcome problems in the process.
