Frequently Asked Questions
Should I adjust status in the U.S. or apply through a consulate?
It depends on where you are and how your petition looks. We prepare Form I-485 for applicants adjusting status inside the U.S., and we coordinate consular processing through the National Visa Center for applicants abroad.
How long does a green card take?
It depends on the category, the office handling the case, and current backlogs, and the figure changes over time -- USCIS publishes current processing times at egov.uscis.gov/processing-times. Immediate relatives of a U.S. citizen (spouse, parent, unmarried child under 21) have a visa available immediately; other family or employment categories wait for a visa number to become current first. We give a case-specific estimate rather than a general one.
Do I need an approved petition before I can apply?
Generally you need to be the beneficiary of an approved, or approvable, family or employment petition. We confirm exactly where your case stands before mapping the next step.
Can I work or travel while my green card application is pending?
Work and travel authorization while your case is pending is part of what we handle. We will confirm what you are eligible for and when to file, since traveling at the wrong moment can affect a pending case.
