Frequently Asked Questions
How can I check my USCIS case status?
You can check your case status online using the USCIS Case Status Tool with your receipt number. Our office also provides regular case updates and proactive communication throughout the application process.
What is a Notice of Intent to Deny?
A Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) is a letter USCIS issues when they intend to deny your application. It identifies deficiencies in your case and gives you an opportunity to respond with additional evidence. Responding to a NOID with a well-prepared legal argument can often salvage your case.
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.
