Consular Processing: Guiding You Through the Overseas Immigration Journey

If your loved one is living abroad and seeking lawful permanent residence in the US, consular processing is the route they’ll need to take. Unlike adjustment of status (which occurs within the US), consular processing happens through a US embassy or consulate in the applicant’s home country.

At the Law Office of Roxanne Rochester, we simplify the complex and often overwhelming consular green card process, helping families reunite confidently and quickly. With legal support grounded in experience and compassion, we ensure you’re never navigating this alone.

What Is Consular Processing?

The process of obtaining permanent residency is through consular processing for individuals living outside the United States. Once the petition is approved by USCIS, the case is transferred to the National Visa Center (NVC), and your journey through the NVC consular processing steps officially begins.

From completing the DS-260 application to preparing for the immigrant visa interview abroad, this process requires meticulous documentation, timely responses, and readiness for the embassy appointment. We’ll be your trusted advocate throughout every phase.

The NVC to Embassy: Every Step Made Clear

The consular process follows a detailed timeline, and missing a single document or deadline can delay your case. Here’s how our office assists:

  • Petition Approval: Once USCIS approves your I-130 or I-140 petition, your case moves to the NVC.
  • Document Collection: We assist you with the preparation of financial affidavits, civil documents, and other documents.
  • DS-260 Application Support: We believe in providing tailored help to our candidates, which ensures that the information is accurate when filling out for DS-260 application.
  • Scheduling interviews: To ensure that our candidates have a timely appointment, we collaborate with the embassy and the consulate.
  • Embassy Green Card Interview Help: We prepare you or your family member for the immigrant visa interview abroad, with practice questions and expert tips.

Every consular case is different. That’s why our strategies are customized to match your unique family structure, petition type, and home country’s consulate guidelines.
