Common questions
What are the main types of visas?
Broadly: family-based, employment-based, student, and humanitarian. Each category has subtypes with different eligibility rules and wait times.
Why was my visa denied?
Common reasons include incomplete applications, insufficient supporting evidence, prior immigration violations, or ineligibility findings. Many denials can be addressed with a stronger reapplication or waiver.
How long does visa processing take?
It varies enormously by visa type and country — weeks for some, years for others with quotas and backlogs. Current processing times are published by the agencies.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring the denial notice if you have one, your passport, prior applications, and documents about the job, family relationship, or school behind the visa.
