Common Questions
Green Card FAQs
How long does it take to get a green card?
Processing times vary significantly. Immediate relatives may receive green cards in 12-18 months, while other categories may take several years due to visa backlogs.
Can I work while my green card is pending?
If you file for adjustment of status (I-485), you can apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) that allows you to work while your case is pending.
What is the difference between adjustment of status and consular processing?
Adjustment of status allows you to get your green card without leaving the U.S., while consular processing requires an interview at a U.S. embassy abroad.
