In order to process your consular processing application(s), we will need the following for each family member applying for permanent residence:

1. Completed Consular Processing Questionnaire for each family member.
2. Copy of Birth Certificate for each family member. Check requirements for your country
3. Copy of Marriage Certificate, if applicable (if married in the U.S., please furnish the certified marriage certificate). Check requirements for your country
4. Copy of Final Decree(s) of Divorce/Death for all prior marriages for both spouses, if applicable; see Sample documents. Note: Copies of the original foreign language birth, marriage and/or divorce/death document must be provided. Our office can arrange for certified English translations.
5. Information about police certificates and military records
6. Copy of Form(s) I-94 for each family member, front and back.
7. Complete copies (except blank pages) of each family member’s passport (old & new, if applicable).
8. Court and prison records, if applicable. Persons who have been convicted of a crime must obtain a certified copy of each court record and of any prison record, regardless of the fact that they may have benefited subsequently from an amnesty, pardon, or other act of clemency.
9. Original passport.
10. Original green card type photographs (check the U.S. embassy website in your country for the number of photographs required).
11. Visa fee. The cost of each formal immigrant visa application is $260 USD or the equivalent in foreign currency, and the cost of each issued immigrant visa is $65 USD or the equivalent in foreign currency. Fees must be paid by, or on behalf of, each intending immigrant regardless of age, and are not refundable and should not be sent to the consular office unless specifically requested.
12. Evidence of name change.
13. Original Evidence of Support (employment verification letters, etc.).
14. Original medical examination.  Note: This medical is completed in the country of interview and must remain sealed.

Please note that original documents do not need to be sent to our office but are required to be presented to the Consulate. There are no exceptions to this rule. The medical examinations which are part of this process will be completed as a component of the Consular interview and should not be done in the U.S.
