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.
What makes a case qualify for National Interest Waiver?
EB-2 NIW requires demonstrating that the proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance, that the applicant is well-positioned to advance the endeavor, and that waiving the job offer and labor certification requirements would benefit the United States.
