Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work while my green card application is pending?
Yes, applicants who have filed I-485 adjustment of status with a concurrent EAD application generally receive work authorization within 3-6 months, allowing them to work for any employer while their green card application is being processed.
Do I need a lawyer for my immigration case?
While immigration law allows individuals to represent themselves, the complexity of US immigration law makes professional legal representation highly advisable. Statistics consistently show that represented applicants have significantly higher approval rates across most visa categories.
How many criteria must I meet for EB-1A?
EB-1A requires meeting at least 3 of 10 regulatory criteria or providing evidence of a one-time major internationally recognized award. Common criteria include original contributions of major significance, published material about the applicant, judging others work, and commanding high remuneration.
