In broad terms, there are four key steps to the visa application process. Indeed, regardless of what type of visa you apply for, your application will proceed in the following manner:
Step 1: File Your Petition
First, you will need to file a petition with your U.S. sponsor. This petition must be filed with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You will not be able to file the actual visa application until this petition is accepted and approved by USCIS.
Step 2: Select Your Agent
Next, you will need to pay your application fees and choose an agent. Your agent is simply your official representative; the person you select will receive all of the correspondence in your case. You can serve as your own agent, though it is generally best to appoint your Bridgeport visa lawyer as your agent.
Step 3: Submit Your application
Your case will then move onto the actual application. This is by far the most important step of the process. Your visa application must be filled out correctly, without any omissions. Additionally, you must be sure that you have included copies of all relevant documents and records. A simple mistake in your application could lead to a lengthy delay or even a denial.
Step 4: Prepare for an interview
Lastly, before your visa will be approved and issued, you must go through an official interview. Please do not take the interview lightly; it is extremely important. To ensure that your rights are fully protected, it is best to bring your immigration attorney with you to your interview.

We had the chance to work with Maya Flores during the final stage of our employment-based green card process, and we are so thankful we did. Even though our case was already far along when she stepped in, she took full ownership right away. She carefully reviewed everything, prepared the documentation, suggested the right immigration forms, and made sure we felt ready. She was with us during the interview and…
I highly recommend Attorney Mathew Kriezelman and Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC. I had an outstanding experience working with their office. I petitioned for my parents, and the firm guided them through the entire adjustment of status process. From the very beginning, Attorney Mathew Kriezelman and Paralegal Silvia Dimayuga were professional, knowledgeable, and exceptionally supportive. They clearly explained each step, ensured all documentation was properly prepared, and promptly answered every…

Outstanding Immigration Attorney – Worth Every Penny I cannot recommend Justin highly enough as an immigration attorney. My case was extremely difficult and complex, and from the very beginning, Justin demonstrated an exceptional level of knowledge, professionalism, and dedication. He took the time to fully understand every detail of my situation and explained the entire legal process clearly and honestly, which gave me confidence during a very stressful time. While…
I highly recommend this law firm! They are always honest right from the initial consultation. They don't take cases just for the money. My family member was a victim of an ICE raid in Michigan on November 17th and returned home on December 30th. It could have been faster, but everything happened during the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas). Maya Flores was recommended by another lawyer, and the entire team has…

My experience with Kriezelman Burton & Associates was excellent. We worked with Jennifer Peyton, for removal proceedings due to being detained by ICE. Jennifer worked diligently and was responsive. Jennifer was supportive throughout the whole process and showed compassion. With the help of Jennifer and the help of the firm, we were able to get the removal proceedings stopped and received permanent residency. I am so thankful for Kriezelman Burton…
