Consular Processing

Consular visa application processing is simply a way for foreign nationals to apply for a U.S. green card or lawful permanent residency where they are so that when they arrive in the United States, they are already fully adjusted permanent residents. This can be done through either a US Consulate or US Embassy and can be a very efficient and effective way to obtain LPR status if handled properly.
