Consular Processing
We help you prepare and organize the documentation for your consular process.
When the relative is outside the United States, the filing continues before the relevant consulate. We prepare and organize the documentation for those stages, including the National Visa Center (NVC), and review everything before it is submitted.
Common situations
- Families whose filing continues before the National Visa Center and the consulate.
- People who must attend a consular appointment.
- People who need help gathering and organizing the documentation the consulate requests.
What we do
- We give you a list of the documentation the consulate normally requests and help you organize it.
- We prepare and organize the complete file.
- We review the file before the appointment to verify it is complete and well organized.
- We explain what to expect at each stage.
What we usually need
- The beneficiary’s civil documents (birth, marriage, police records).
- The sponsor’s financial documentation.
- Passport and up-to-date contact details.
- Notices received from the NVC or the consulate.
How long does it take?
Each consulate has its own timelines and appointment availability, and they can change. When we prepare your filing, we show you the times officially published by the government.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you come with me to the appointment?
- The appointment is in person before the consulate. Our job is to make sure you arrive with complete, well-organized documentation.
- Does Immigration Guy decide which documents the consulate requires?
- No. The requirements are set by each consulate and the Department of State. We prepare and organize the documentation for the contracted service according to those published requirements.
