Who pays for the trip to the consulate?

The EB-4 visa is intended for certain special groups and has particularities that require attention throughout all stages of the process.

A common question is who should bear the travel expenses to the consulate during the interview process. Usually, costs related to the trip to the consulate – which may include airfare, lodging, and any local expenses – are the responsibility of the visa applicant.

However, it is important to check whether any sponsor or intermediary entity involved in your process offers additional benefits that may include assistance with these expenses. Each case may have its specifics, and therefore, clear communication between the applicant, sponsor, and the responsible authorities is essential.

It is worth emphasizing that at any stage of the immigration process, it is essential to strictly follow the laws of the United States. This approach not only helps maintain the proper progress of the process but also protects against risks of fraud or scams. Always seek information through official sources or consult specialized and reliable professionals to avoid falling for miracle promises of results or offers that could compromise your safety and future.
