Consular Processing
Our Chicago immigration lawyers can help you understand the requirements for consular processing.
If the alien is abroad, or is not eligible for adjustment of status, the alien may apply for an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate abroad once the alien's priority date is current. If the alien obtains the immigrant visa, the alien becomes a permanent resident when he or she travels to the U.S. with the immigrant visa and is admitted by an immigration inspector.
If you have any questions regarding your priority date or about inadmissibility to the United States call the Chicago immigration lawyers at 773-516-4100 or contact us online for a consultation to discuss your immigration issues or questions.
