Stages of immigration
to the USA
-
01Entering the USA without a visa As a Chilean passport holder, you can initially move to the USA without a visa under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).
-
02Obtaining an immigrant visa To permanently immigrate, a Chilean citizen must obtain an immigrant visa. This involves completing the necessary application forms, submitting required documents, and paying the associated fees.
-
03Passing the interview After submitting your documents, you will be scheduled for an interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate. During the interview, a consular officer will assess your eligibility for an immigrant visa.
-
04Receiving the visa and Green Card Upon successfully passing the interview and receiving approval from the consular officer, you will be issued an immigrant visa. After entering the United States with this visa, you will then be eligible to receive a Green Card, granting you lawful permanent residency.
