    Core steps: Prevailing wage, PERM labor certification when required, I-140 petition, priority date tracking, and adjustment of status or consular processing.

Adjustment of Status vs Consular Processing

  • Adjustment of Status AOS: File I-485 in the United States, attend biometrics and a USCIS interview in the Atlanta region when required, and remain work-authorized with an EAD while the case is pending if eligible.

  • Consular Processing: Complete National Visa Center steps and attend a consular interview abroad. After approval, you enter as a permanent resident.

We help you choose the best path based on status, travel needs, and timing.

What an Atlanta Green Card Lawyer Does for You

  • Eligibility screening and risk checks inadmissibility, prior entries, unlawful presence, and criminal history

  • Document strategy and assembly relationship evidence, employment records, financials, and civil documents

  • Timeline planning priority date tracking, visa bulletin strategy, and interview readiness

  • Interview preparation and follow-through mock interviews, packet review, and representation as appropriate

  • Response to RFEs and NOIDs fast, organized submissions that address the officer’s concerns

​

Evidence for Family-Based Cases

Strong filings are built on credible, well-organized evidence. For marriage cases, that often includes a marriage certificate, joint lease or mortgage, shared bank statements, insurance, taxes, photos, travel records, and affidavits from friends or family. If the marriage is new, you may receive a two-year conditional card and later file I-751 to remove conditions.

​

Employment-Based Considerations

For PERM cases, we coordinate with employers on recruitment, job descriptions, and prevailing wage. For NIW and EB-1 categories, we craft evidence narratives that highlight impact, publications, citations, awards, leadership, and sustained acclaim where applicable.

​

Waivers and Complex Matters

If a ground of inadmissibility applies, we evaluate waiver options such as I-601 or I-601A and assemble hardship evidence, medical documentation, and affidavits that meet legal standards. We also guide travel risks for those with pending AOS, prior removal orders, or criminal records.

​

Work and Travel While Your Case Is Pending

Many AOS applicants qualify for a combo card employment authorization and advance parole. We explain timing, travel cautions, and how to maintain lawful status where required.

​

Timeline and What to Expect

Every case is unique, but most filings follow this sequence

  1. Strategy session and eligibility review

  2. Document checklist and evidence collection

  3. Petition and application filings

  4. Biometrics appointment

  5. Interview preparation

  6. Decision and approval, then card production

We set expectations for each step, keep you informed, and adjust strategy as needed.

Consultation

FAQs

Do I need an Atlanta green card lawyer if immigration is federal?

Local knowledge still matters. Attorneys who regularly handle cases with the Atlanta USCIS office and immigration courts understand local procedures, interview practices, and common timelines.
 

Can I work while my green card application is pending?

If you file AOS and qualify, you can usually apply for an EAD. Once approved, you may work while the I-485 is pending.
 

What if my marriage is less than two years old when approved?

You may receive a two-year conditional card. You and your spouse file I-751 to remove conditions within the 90 days before expiration.
 

How do waivers work if I have unlawful presence or certain issues?

Some applicants can seek waivers by showing qualifying hardship to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative. We evaluate eligibility and assemble evidence that meets the legal standard.
 

How long does the green card process take?

Timelines vary by category, processing center, and case facts. We review current trends, advise on realistic expectations, and keep you updated at each milestone.
