How do you get visa for immigration?

Answer 1

This procedure is based on the location of the intending immigrant. This is a very broad overview of this procedure.

• Applying from the United States:
  • The US relative will file an I-130 Petition for their alien relative who is in the United States. Best practice is to complete the rest of the Green Card Application at the same time when the relative has immediate priority, and the following forms are required;
    • I-485, I-864, I-693, G-325A (for the US relative and for each intending immigrant), and a corresponding G-28 form when you use an Attorney to help you complete your forms. Additional forms may be filed currently to save US fees.

• Applying from outside the United States:
  • The US relative will file an I-130 Petition for their alien relative who is not in the United States.
  • When the I-130 is approved by the department of state the intending immigrant has one year to apply for an Immigrant Visa.
