Frequently Asked Questions
What is an immigrant visa?
An immigrant visa allows a foreign national to travel to the United States and become a lawful permanent resident, commonly known as receiving a green card.
What types of immigrant visas are available?
Immigrant visa categories include family-based visas, employment-based visas, the diversity visa lottery, and certain special categories such as religious workers and investors, each with its own eligibility requirements.
What is the difference between consular processing and adjustment of status?
Consular processing takes place at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad, while adjustment of status allows an eligible applicant already in the United States to apply for a green card without leaving the country.
How do I know which immigrant visa category fits me?
The right category depends on factors such as your family relationships, job offer or skills, and country of origin. An attorney can review your circumstances and help identify your best option.
How long does the immigrant visa process take?
Processing times vary significantly by visa category, and some family-based and employment-based categories are subject to annual numerical limits and waiting lists, which can add years to the process.
How can an immigration attorney help?
An experienced attorney can evaluate your eligibility, identify the right visa category, prepare and file your petition, and guide you through every step of the process, from filing to interview.
