Visa Details
Type of Visa -
Immigration Visa :-
Immigrant visas (sometimes known as "green cards")
are for persons who plan to live, work or study and remain permanently
in the U.S. Immigrant visas (IV) are a responsibility of the U.S.
Department of State, Consular Affairs Bureau (CONS/IV). Most IVs
require an underlying petition approved by the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security(DHS),U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(CIS) before any IV processing starts.
Non Immigration Visa-
Each visa application must be processed on its own, even
for family members who apply together. Due to various processing
times, even if you have a visa interview with your family members
on the same day, everyone's visa may not be ready on the same day.
Therefore we ask that each passport have a separate courier slip
attached.
Document Required -
The following NIV applications no longer require Korean
language documents to be translated into English: diplomatic/official
(A/G/C3), visitor (B), student (F), vocational student (M), exchange
visitor (J), transit (C1), crew (C1/D).
Religious worker (R), media (I), temporary worker (H), treaty trader/investor
(E), intra-company transferee (L), professional performer (P), applicants
with extraodinary ability (O) and international cultural exchange
(Q) must continue to submit English translations of all non-English
documents.
Fee -
The NIV processing fee is US$100 and can be paid for at any Shinhan
Bank branch within Korea. The processing fee is payable only in
Korean Won and is based on the daily exchange rate at the bank.
All NIV applicants, including children listed in a parent's passport,
if applying for a U.S. NIV, must pay the processing fee. The bank
will give each applicant a receipt showing payment. This fee receipt
must be submitted with each application at the time of submission.
Applicants cannot pay the processing fee at the Embassy.
