Immigrant Visas
Salvadorans and citizens of other foreign countries who wish to obtain permanent resident status in the U.S. generally must obtain immigrant visas at the U.S. Embassy.
Most immigrant visa applications begin when a family-member who is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident submits a petition (Form I-130) on behalf of the intending immigrant to the office of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the United States that serves the petitioner's place of residence.
Do not attempt to submit the completed I-130 form to the Consular Section, we cannot process this form.
It is also possible in some circumstances for a U.S. employer to petition to obtain permanent resident status for a foreign national employee. Click here to learn more about US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
