Visa Process

Visa Application Process

Each immigration case is unique, and the outcomes vary widely. However, there are some standard steps that our clients must take in order to acquire a visa. As a visa applicant, knowing what to expect from the process can be difficult, but having a clear understanding of these steps can help. For a more comprehensive review of your specific case, contact our office.

1. Schedule Your Consultation with an Immigration Attorney: Immigration laws are often confusing and change frequently. There are many variables that contribute to the success or failure of a case. Enlisting the help of an experienced immigration attorney ensures that you will fully understand each element of your case and make the best decisions possible. You can easily schedule a consultation with an immigration attorney by giving us a call or filling out our online contact form.
2. Speak with Immigration Lawyer Prerak Zaveri: Attorney Zaveri will thoroughly examine each element of your immigration case, then outline your strategy for successfully completing the visa process. Your strategy will be personalized to your unique case and designed to tackle any challenges that you may face.
3. Hire Zaveri Law P.C.: We understand that hiring an attorney is an important investment. It is essential that you feel confident in your attorney and the plan that has been laid out for you. We believe in transparency, and we will not take your case unless we believe we can effectively assist you. We also offer flexible payment options.
4. Collect and Examine Client Evidence: The visa process can be time-consuming, which is why having correct and complete documentation is essential to avoiding frustration and delays. Your application will require many documents, including birth certificates, tax filings, and criminal records. We will ensure that you know which documents are required and that they are submitted correctly.
5. Prepare the Application: Before applying for a visa, you must receive an approved immigration petition and a case number via the National Visa Center (NVC). We have years of experience handling the documents and fees required during this step of the process. We will assist you in preparing the paperwork and make sure that your application is strong.
6. Submit Your Application: While most elements of your visa application can be submitted electronically, there are a few exceptions. It is common for the NVC to take several weeks to process an application. Additional documents may be required during this stage.
7. Case Follow: We will remain dedicated to your case from start to finish. Visa application processing often results in long waiting periods. Your attorney will be available to answer your questions and provide updates until your application is approved.
8. Interview Prep: Once the review of your application is complete, you will be required to attend a biometrics interview. During this interview, photos and fingerprints will be taken, and your interview at your local consulate or the U.S. embassy will be scheduled. Your immigration attorney will help you prepare for your interview and make sure that you understand what to expect.
9. The Interview: Applicants outside the U.S. will attend an interview at their local consulate. Visa applicants already in the U.S. will be interviewed at an embassy. Your original documents will be presented at this stage of the process. Following the completion of any security or medical checks, your visa will be issued.
10. Approval:You will be issued an immigrant visa stamp and, if needed, given instructions on how to enter the U.S. legally. Green cards are mailed to your U.S. address. Our team at Zaveri Law P.C. will remain available to you should any issues arise with your visa.
