Consular Processing Module 2: Standalone Nonimmigrant Visas and What It Takes to Get One

4.83 (6 votes)

Only available as part of a package

This module will cover nonimmigrant visas where there is not an underlying approved petition, with the exception of E-1, E-2 (treaty-based visa categories), and E-3 visas (these will be addressed in another module). Visas that do not require a preapproved petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are considered standalone visas and will not be covered. Specifically, our expert faculty will discuss the multiple uses of B (annotated Bs), I, J, F, M, and Blanket L visas. You will learn about how and when these visa types are best used, and what their adjudication criteria are (as set out in the FAM). Booking visa interview appointments, making biometric appointments, paying visa fees, and what an applicant needs to bring to the different appointments also will be addressed.

Faculty: 

Poorvi Rohit Chothani (DL), Online Course Committee Member, Mumbai, India

Ganesh Kalyanaraman, AILA Board of Governors, Sacramento, CA 

Becki L. Young, AILA Client Resources Committee Chair, Silver Spring, MD
