What Is Consular Processing?
Consular processing is the procedure used when an individual applies for an immigrant visa through a United States embassy or consulate outside the United States. After an immigrant petition is approved and a visa becomes available, the case is transferred to the National Visa Center (NVC) before being scheduled for an interview at the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate.
Once the immigrant visa is approved and the individual enters the United States, they generally become a lawful permanent resident and receive a Permanent Resident Card (Green Card).
