新手提问: what is consular processing? PermanentHeadDamage2007-11-13 17:48:10

My company just started my green card application, and now is still in PERM stage.

Company's lawyer told me the following:

There are two possible process streams for the third and final stage of applications towards permanent residency:
1) "adjustment of status" (AOS or I-485) with the CIS Service Center in the U.S., or
2) "consular processing" with a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad for an immigrant visa.

They say they generally recommend AOS over consular processing. Just curious, what is consular processing?


Thanks!

Means you need to go back to China and get immigration visa at U

回复：对你你行,一般你需要在美国file 485,如果家属不能来
