Applying for an Immigrant Visa

Local Agencies that Offer Assistance in Completing Visa Forms

Each individual applicant bears the responsibility for the information contained in his or her own visa application form and many complete their form on their own. However, you may seek assistance in preparing your visa application form.

Sources that may provide such assistance, often for a fee, include: cultural or religious groups (many such groups exist and have experience in assisting immigrants) and private attorneys.
