USCIS

When making decisions on non-immigrant visas   and  green cards (also known as immigrant visas), the US consulate follows guidelines and rules that are found in a manual named Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM).   To understand this process and be prepared, we strongly recommend to those going through consulate processing to review section 9 of the Foreign Affairs Manual.  Appropriate Links to the manual are below:

• Non-Immigrant Visas
• Immigrant Visa (Green Cards)
• General Sections
• Asylum Applications
