The first step in immigrating from India to the United States is to determine your eligibility. To do this, you should consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can advise you on your options and provide a customized roadmap for success. Once you have determined eligibility and are ready to move forward, the next step is to complete the appropriate visa application. Depending on your situation and the type of visa you are applying for, this could include submitting a petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), obtaining an immigrant visa through an embassy or consulate outside of the United States, or seeking adjustment of status while in the United States. You must also provide evidence of eligibility and be interviewed by a consular officer. Once the application is approved, you will receive an immigrant visa. This document allows you to enter the United States as a permanent resident, at which point you must obtain a green card, register with the Selective Service (if applicable), and complete any additional documentation needed for arrival in the United States.
