Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
