Individualized Representation At
Every Step In the Visa Process


An NVS attorney will prepare and file all documents from the initial application forms through evidentiary support papers, including preparation of your investment and business plan. Your attorney and NVS will complete all information required for the petition application for you.

After submitting the initial petition application, your attorney will follow up with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) until you have been granted your visa number, thereby assuring you and your qualifying family members status as a potential United States resident. Your attorney will then prepare you for your interview with the INS and accompany you to the interview wherever you currently reside. Whether you have your interview at the Overseas Consular Office in the country where you currently reside or at the offices of the INS in the United States, your attorney will be with you. You will generally receive your visa approval at the interview.

After your entry into the United States, NVS will maintain a complete file in preparation for your transition from conditional permanent resident to permanent resident. Your attorney will complete all applications and represent you should there be any subsequent immigration interviews.
  • The initial visa is for permanent residence, but is conditional and must be renewed after two years. Your NVS representative will be there to make sure it is renewed.
  • When the two years are over, NVS will assist you by filing a request with INS to remove the condition. Once removed, a permanent green card is issued.
  • You may then apply for citizenship or simply maintain permanent residency.
  • A green card does not require you to forfeit any rights of citizenship in your native country and does not restrict travel in and out of the U.S.
