Why You Should Work with an Immigration Lawyer
Hiring an immigration lawyer is well worth the time, especially when it comes to immigration visas. In specific situations, such as family-based petitions, the application can be quite complex from the start. An attorney can ensure that all documents are filled out correctly and completely. In doing so, the application process may move much more quickly, saving you months in processing time.
The Immigration Visa Process
From submitting the Form-130 to completing interviews, applicants have to be consistent with submitting and completing documents. Throughout the entirety of the application, petitioners must complete NVC processing, pay the necessary fees, submit their Affidavit of Support, scan financial and civil documents, prepare for their interview.
Your Rights
The minute you become a U.S. citizen, you can sponsor family members as “immediate relatives.” These relatives include spouses, parents of a citizen 21 years or older, unmarried children under the age of 21, and children adopted before turning 16. The government does not limit the number of immediate relative visas approved each year.
Immigration Visa Requirements
A foreign citizen must be sponsored by a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident immediate relative, or a prospective U.S. employer to apply for an immigrant visa. Applicants must also have an approved petition before applying and are required to prove that they can afford commodities such as health care and other insurances.

Who needs a visa to enter the U.S.?
Most foreign nationals need a visa unless they are from a Visa Waiver Program country. U.S. citizens do not need a visa to enter the U.S.
Why are visas required?
Visas help the U.S. government manage who enters the country and ensure travelers meet specific requirements for their intended stay.
What types of visas are available?
There are two main categories: nonimmigrant visas for temporary visits (tourism, study, work) and immigrant visas for permanent residency.
When should I apply for a visa?
You should apply as early as possible, ideally several months before your planned travel, because visa processing times vary by country and type.
How do I apply for a visa?
The process typically includes completing the online application, paying a fee, scheduling an interview, and attending a visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate.
Who decides if my visa is approved?
A consular officer at the U.S. embassy or consulate reviews your application, supporting documents, and interview to make the final decision.
What documents are usually required for a visa?
Common documents include a valid passport, completed application form, visa fee receipt, photos, proof of ties to your home country, and supporting documents specific to the visa type (like an I-20 for students).
Why might a visa be denied?
Visas can be denied if the applicant fails to demonstrate eligibility, lacks strong ties to their home country, provides incomplete information, or has a prior immigration violation.
How long is a visa valid?
Visa validity depends on the type of visa and your nationality. Some visas allow multiple entries over several years, while others are valid for a single entry or short period.
