Consular Processing vs. Adjustment of Status (AOS) | Advantages, Disadvantages, Differences

In this video I talk about the differences between applying for an immigrant visa through Consular Processing with a U.S. Embassy versus filing an Adjustment of Status (AOS) application with USCIS from within the united States. I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each process, the forms and expenses associated with each process, as well as the procedure for changing from Adjustment of Status to Consular Processing and from Consular Processing to Adjustment of Status.

My husband and I have never hired an attorney or lawyer for any of of visa process. We’ve done it all on our own. And now I am currently waiting on my green card and work authorization! 🙂 it was a stressful process but overall pretty simple. Just do your research and everything will work out just fine!!

[foysolalam]

Is there any consideration/exception for Affidavit of support (consular processing) right now if a sponsor's current income is lower than poverty guidelines/ unemployed due to Covid-19 ?

[jessiejames]

How soon after the NVC accepts all of our documents should we receive notice that it's moving on to the consular interview? Our documents were all "accepted" on Friday! Thank you :)

Hi Stephanie, thank you so much for your videos, are really helpful. One question: if my I-94 expires in June and my approval petition for I-140 as a EB2 worker arrived in August, do I still have a valid status to apply for the I-485? Thank you!

[Nucho]

Should you wait to file I-485 while you wait on the I-601 waiver?

[dr.ianamalasevskaia]

Hello, many thanks for this useful information. I have a question..How often, an EB 2NIW visa is denied at the US embassy? I am really worried about this, or what if put it under Administrative Processing? many thanks in advance

[caseytollefson]
