An immigrant visa (IV or green card) is required for foreigners who will be in the U.S for an extended or indefinite period.

U.S. law defines IVs in five categories:

1.      Fiancé(e) / K visa – please relate this to fiancé website information

2.      Immediate Relatives - IR / CR visa - please relate this to immediate relative website information

3.      Family Based visa(s) - F visa  - please relate this to family based website information

4.      Employment-Based visa(s) – E visa - please relate this to employment based website information

5.      Diversity Visa (DV) or green card lottery - please relate this to diversity visa website information

Immigration is a two-step process.  The first step requires the foreigner to be the beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition (I-130, I-140, I-360 or I-129F) from an eligible U.S. citizen relative or employer. 

For information on how to file an immigrant petition please visit USCIS website.

All IV applicants are seen by appointment only.  Before coming to your IV appointment, please have in hand all required documents.  If you do not bring them to your IV appointment you will be found ineligible for an IV interview.  Only IV applicants with an approved immigrant (I-130/I-140) or fiancé (I-129F) or other approved petition may have an IV appointment.

To learn more about IV processing please see the FAQs at http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3179.html.  The National Visa Center (NVC) will arrange IV appointments for all IV applicants.
