Adjustment of Status: A Gateway to Permanent Residency

At Coleman Law Group, we understand the importance of applying for a Green Card to attain your long-term educational goals, financial stability, and work opportunities. Adjustment of Status (AOS) is a pathway for eligible individuals already residing in the U.S. to apply for permanent residency without having to leave the country.


Our lawyers guide you at every stage of filing Form I-485, including preparation of supporting documents, reviewing eligibility, and ensuring proper filing of your immigrant petition. Many applicants qualify to apply for work authorization and travel permission, even though their immigration case is pending. Our legal attorneys help you explore these options with confidence. We offer strategic assistance through biometrics, interviews, and document review with compassion and attention to detail.


At Coleman Law Group, our mission is to make the process of Adjustment of Status as transparent, timely, and secure as possible for you, allowing you to focus on building a stable future in the United States.

Consular Processing: Your Pathway to U.S. Residency

At Coleman Law Group, we understand the complexity involved in the process of applying for a Green Card outside the United States. Your financial future, educational goals, and stability rely on it.

Consular Processing is a pathway for individuals residing abroad and willing to seek lawful permanent residency in the U.S.

The process begins with the submission of an immigration petition by a sponsor, typically Form I-130 for family-based immigration or Form I-140 for employment-based immigration.

Once the immigration petition is approved and a visa is available, the National Visa Center will collect the necessary documents to schedule your interview.

Our lawyers help you prepare for the biometrics and the consular interview to perform at your best, thereby maximizing your chances of a successful outcome.

At Coleman Law Group, we focus on minimizing delays, skipping errors, and offering compassionate legal assistance for you to establish your life in the United States with confidence.

The AOS & Consular Processing Made Easy

The choice between Adjustment of Status and Consular Processing is a crucial decision that depends upon your location, and you may need expert legal advice. At the Coleman Law Group, we identify that immigration matters involve complicated procedures and substantial consequences for an applicant’s stable future in the United States. Applicants already residing lawfully in the U.S. may seek the benefit of Adjustment of Status.

It allows them to stay in the same nation during adjudication, seek work authorization, and obtain Advance Parole for travel. Individuals currently residing outside the country, or those who are ineligible to adjust status natively, should choose the option of Consular Processing. This process typically requires an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate and re-entry only after approval has been granted. Because each case has its unique factors- such as visa category, immigration history involved, and long-term objectives- legal guidance becomes mandatory.

Our experienced lawyers conduct a detailed assessment to recommend the most appropriate course of action.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Adjustment of Status and Consular Processing?
Adjustment of Status allows eligible applicants to apply for a U.S. Green Card by remaining within the United States, as they are already residing there. Consular Processing requires applicants to complete the immigration process at a U.S. embassy, as they reside abroad. The suitable option may differ for different individuals based on their location, eligibility, and immigration history.
Traveling abroad is not recommended during the Adjustment of Status process. Leaving the U.S. without any authorization may result in the cancellation of the application. Traveling during consular Processing occurs only after visa approval.
Applicants who have applied for an Adjustment of Status may also apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to work while waiting for their application to be approved.
No. Adjustment of Status usually takes longer due to the interview process and background checks conducted by USCIS. Consular Processing is generally faster; however, the embassy workload and the availability of an appointment can influence its speed.
Adjustment of Status can offer access to limited waivers for a few violations. Consular Processing may cause barriers or complications once you leave the U.S. Individuals with immigration issues should consult an attorney before proceeding with Processing.
In many cases, eligible spouses and children may submit applications alongside the principal applicant. Eligibility, required forms, and timelines may vary depending on the visa category and the availability of dates on a priority basis.
Delays at U.S. embassies can result in a significant extension of timelines. Applicants must wait abroad until the Green card process is completed. Legal guidance can offer expert advice to gauge alternatives. No. Only U.S. citizens, by birth or naturalization, are eligible for a U.S. passport.
The suitability of the option will majorly depend upon your immigration history, location, visa status, travel needs, and long-term plans. Due to the legal risks involved, a professional review is strongly advised to prevent any complications. Coleman Law Group offers customized legal solutions to help you make informed decisions for your needs.
