The
Two Stage Process of Obtaining an Immigrant Visa
1.
The Petition – The petition establishes
the right of an intending immigrant to apply for an immigrant
visa. It is generally filed by an American citizen or legal permanent
resident who has a qualifying relationship with the intending
immigrant or by a potential future employer. For
more information about filing a petition, click here.
2.
The Immigrant Visa Interview –
Once a petition has been approved, the case is sent to the National
Visa Center. When the case is ready for processing, it is forwarded
to the US Consulate in Honduras and the applicant is scheduled
for an interview. For more information
