Back Consular Processing - Non Immigrant Visa Application for Consular Processing This service is for those who already have a Notice of Action (Form I-797) granted by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service. A lawful permanent resident card (Green Card) is issued by a U.S. Embassy or Consulate after an interview process. A lawful permanent resident card entitles the holder to travel to the United States and apply for admission; it does not quarantee entry. An immigration inspector at the port of entry determines the card holder's eligibility for admission into the United States. What is a Non-Immigrant Visa?

Non-Immigrant Visas: A nonimmigrant visa is required by anyone seeking temporary admission into the United States who is not eligible to travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program, or is not exempt from the visa requirement. Nonimmigrant visas cover visits for tourism, business, work or study. Must I make an appointment at the US Consulate? Yes. TVisa applications are now subject to a greater degree of scrutiny than in the past. For many applicants, a personal appearance interview is required as a standard part of visa processing. Additionally, applicants affected by these procedures are informed of the need for additional screening at the time they submit their applications and are being advised to expect delays. The time needed for adjudication of individual cases will continue to be difficult to predict. For travelers, the need for an interview will mean additional coordination with the embassy or consulate is needed to schedule an interview appointment. We recommend that individuals build in ample time before their planned travel date when seeking to obtain a visa.
