DETERMINE YOUR ELIGIBLITY
All destinations have specific eligibility criteria for candidates. Make sure that you fit in the eligibility criteria before applying.
Assess whether you are eligible for permanent resident status in the United States. Permanent resident status in the US is granted for four main reasons: family ties, employment, status as a refugee, and to promote diversity. If you are granted permanent resident status, you will be given a permanent visa, otherwise known as a green card.
SUBMIT A PETITION FOR A PERMANENT VISA
Submit a petition for a permanent visa. This petition should be submitted by the US citizen that is sponsoring your application. This person will vary, depending on the way you qualify for permanent residency, but is usually a family member that is an American citizen or your prospective employer.
REVIEW YOUR APPLICATION AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
This part of the process marks your entry into the National Visa Center Processing system, which will guide you through the pre-approval process. The center is the agency, which is responsible for collecting fees and supporting documentation. They will notify us when these are required and when they have actually been received.
SUBMIT FEES, APPLICATION AND SUPPORTING MATERIAL
Submit your fees, application, supporting materials, and wait for a response. Waiting is a big part of the process. After you pay your fees, you will then be allowed to turn in your application and supporting materials. Supporting materials include financial records, to prove that you will not be a financial burden to the US, and civil documents from your home country.
MEDICAL EXAMINATION
You would be required to go through a medical examination before the date of your interview. This examination is designed to assess whether your entry into the US would cause a public health threat. Your doctor will determine if you have any communicable diseases, as well as giving you any required vaccinations.
APPEAR FOR INTERVIEW
At the end of the process you will be asked to go to an interview with a government official, usually at a US embassy. The date, time, and location will be given to you. At the end of the interview you will usually be told whether or not your visa application has been accepted.
