To live in United States on a permanent basis while becoming a lawful citizen, the very first step is to get the immigration visa.

Process:

The eligibility criterion to apply for the immigration visa is that the person should be sponsored by a US citizen who might be a relative, employer and the permanent resident of US. The process starts with a petition which is filed with US Citizenship and Immigration Services on the behalf of foreign resident. After the petition is being approved, the priority date is checked which leads to the beginning of the process of National Visa Center. An agent is chosen and a fee is paid so that he is officially bound to provide his services. The next major and important step is the collection and submission of required documents and forms to the National Visa Center. This step includes the submission of Visa Application form, the collection of financial documents and supporting documents and finally the submission of documents to the NVC.

The next major step calls for the interview which is one of the technical steps in immigration process. The interview is taken by the US embassy officials and if the person fails to provide solid reason of his migration, the visa is cancelled irrespective of the fact that all the submitted documents are genuine. So it is important for the applicant to prepare for the interview and appear on the interview date in time. At the end of interview, the consular officer informs the applicant about the approval or denial of his visa application.
