An Immigrant Visa is required of anyone who wishes to enter the United States to reside there permanently, whether or not that person plans to seek employment in the United States. U.S. immigration law provides for the issuance of Immigrant Visas in four general categories:
- Immediate relatives/Foreign Spouse
- Family-based
- Employment-based
- Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (the “green card” lottery)
Telephone inquiries regarding specific immigrant visa cases are accepted by the Immigrant Visa Unit between the hours of 1:00 and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (tel. 622-6371/6).
If you have already been interviewed for your immigrant visa and were asked to bring additional documentation, you should bring those documents to the Embassy any Friday between 7:30 and 9:00 a.m., except on Trinidad and Tobago and U.S. holidays.
