Frequently Asked
Questions
What’s the difference between Adjustment of Status (AOS) and Consular Processing?
Adjustment of Status allows you to apply for your green card from within the United States. Consular Processing is completed through a U.S. consulate abroad. The best option depends on your current visa, location, and travel needs — we’ll help determine the safest and fastest path for your situation.
What are the requirements for the L-1 visa?
The L-1 visa allows multinational companies to transfer executives, managers, or specialized employees from their foreign offices to a U.S. branch. The employee must have worked abroad for at least one continuous year within the past three years. We assist both employers and employees with the transfer process and documentation.
Can I sponsor a family member for a green card?
U.S. citizens can sponsor their spouses, children, parents, and siblings. Green card holders can sponsor their spouses and unmarried children. Each category has different wait times and eligibility rules — we’ll help you understand which path applies to your family.
Can I travel while my green card application is pending?
If you’ve applied for Adjustment of Status (AOS) from within the U.S., you generally cannot travel internationally until you receive Advance Parole — a travel document that allows you to reenter the U.S. without abandoning your application. Traveling without it may cause your case to be denied. We’ll advise you on when and how it’s safe to travel based on your specific situation.
Can I work while my green card application is pending?
If you filed for Adjustment of Status (AOS) in the U.S., you can apply for a work permit (Employment Authorization Document, or EAD) at the same time. Once approved, the EAD allows you to work legally while your green card case is being processed. We help clients file for both benefits together to minimize waiting time and ensure continuous authorization.
