Consulate Processing for Relatives

Immigrant Visas and Consulate Processing

To obtain an immigrant visa for relatives living outside the country, you must go through the U.S. consulate process. The process to get a visa for a spouse (K-1 or permanent resident alien card) or fiancé (K-1) is complicated.

Consulate Processing and Unlawful Presence Waivers

If you have resided illegally in the United States continuously for over 180 days, or over one year, and must return to your country for Consular Processing to receive your immigrant visa, you will trigger a bar to reentry. You will need an unlawful presence waiver to avoid such bar.
