Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Can I work while my I-485 is pending?
Yes, you may apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) concurrently with your I-485 application. Once approved, the EAD allows you to work for any employer while your adjustment of status application is pending with USCIS.
What happens if my I-485 is denied?
If your I-485 is denied, USCIS will typically issue a Notice of Intent to Deny before the actual denial, giving you an opportunity to respond. If denied, you may be placed in removal proceedings unless you have another valid immigration status.
