Applying for a Visa
An appointment package is sent to the agent or the applicant. (See note below.) The appointment package gives the applicant an interview date and tells you the specific requirements of the visa. It includes instructions on where to go to have the required medical examination. During the interview process, an ink-free, digital fingerprint scan will be taken. In general, the following is required:
A passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond the applicant's intended period of stay in the United States (unless country-specific agreements provide exemptions).
Birth certificate
Divorce or death certificate of any previous spouse
Marriage certificate
Police certificate from all places lived since age 16
Medical examination
Evidence of financial support. A completed Form I-864 Affidavit of Support from petitioner/ sponsor is required.
Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, Form DS-230, both Part I and Part II
Two immigrant visa photos
Proof of the marriage and the husband/wife relationship
