• Consular Services During the Typhoon and Rainy Season

• If you are looking for a form that begins with "I" (such as I-130 or I-539), these forms come from the Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in the Department of Homeland Security and you may download or order them via mail from the USCIS forms page.

• Applicants can save time by being well prepared for their interview and bringing all their necessary documents. Use this checklist to help prevent an additional trip to the Consulate!
