General F.A.Q
Both immediate relatives and family preference relatives must first file a Form I-130 with the USCIS. Once the I-130 is approved immediate relatives may apply immediately for adjustment of status to that of an LPR (green card holder) if they are in the U.S. or start consular processing to obtain the green card if they are outside the United States. For preference category relatives they may do the same once a visa is available to them meaning their I-130’s priority date is current in the visa bulletin.

To apply for an employment based green card you or an employer must file a Form I-140 with USCIS. Most individuals need an employer to sponsor them and file the application on their behalf. Those who qualify for an EB-1 or an NIW may self petition meaning they will not need an employer to sponsor them. Once the I-140 is approved you may file a I-485 adjustment of status application if you are in the US or complete consular processing if you are abroad once your visa is available.

To apply for a non-immigrant visa you will need to file the application with the consulate which can be done online through a DS-160 if you are abroad. If you are in the United States and have a different non-immigrant status (like a B visa) you can file a form I-539 to change statuses to that of an F-1 student or E-2 treaty investor for example.

For an investment visa you will need to apply for a Form I-526 or I-526E. Once this is approved you may file for a green card through consulate processing if you are abroad or through an adjustment of status application if you are in the U.S. For more information click here or schedule a consultation with our office.
