The final stage
of the green card process, whether employment-based, family-based, asylum,
lottery, etc, is either Adjustment of Status (AOS) or
Consular Processing (CP). Adjustment of Status, processed through
the USCIS, is available only to persons present in the U.S. CP is processed
through the U.S. Department of State (DOS) and involves an
interview at a consulate abroad. Applications for
spouses and children of
U.S. citizens are processed in 1 step, so that the petition
would be filed simultaneously with the AOS application. Other types of
family-based cases involve two steps, and
most employment-based cases are a
3-step process. Before the AOS or CP application can be filed,
the prior stages have to be approved, and the priority date must be current.
What We Can Do
For You : At
the Murthy Law Firm, we can consult with you to help you decide
whether AOS or CP may be the better choice. We take into account your
preferences as well as factors such as your legal status, your marital
status, and your employment situation. We can prepare and submit paperwork
for either process, whether the AOS through USCIS or the CP through the
DOS. If completing your green card application through AOS, we provide
advice on when it may be appropriate to apply for employment and travel
authorization. We can also help in preparation for any USCIS or consular
interview and, if you are in our local area, one of our attorneys can
represent you at the USCIS interview.
