Immigrant visas to the United States are processed for citizens and residents of Cambodia at the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh.
To apply for an immigrant visa, a foreign citizen generally must be sponsored by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident immediate relative(s), or prospective U.S. employer. The applicant must also have an approved petition before applying for an immigrant visa. The sponsor begins the process by filing a petition on the foreign citizen’s behalf with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You may wish to review our Directory of Visa Categories on usvisas.state.gov to learn about the different types of immigrant visas to the United States, including our Diversity Visa Program. Then, follow the steps on the Immigrant Visa Process, or on the Diversity Visa Process, on usvisas.state.gov to begin applying for an immigrant visa.
Once USCIS has approved your petition and you have completed pre-processing with the National Visa Center (NVC), or if you have been selected in the Diversity Visa Lottery and completed processing with the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC), please review the instructions provided by NVC or KCC, along with the information presented on this website, for further guidance and instructions.
