Lawfully’s Immigration Q&A with Attorney #1

Have you recently filed forms I-140, I-485, I-130 or filed for a marriage green card? Are you getting ready for adjustment of status or EAD? Or are you one of the many applicants who want to know what the approximate case processing time for your case is?

Then you've come to the right place.

In order to help even more immigrants, Lawfully is launching a Q&A series with immigration lawyers to answer questions received from users. You can find the answers to these questions.

Q1. If I have corrected my name on birth certificate do I need to have a police clearance that has my previous name?

Q2. Is I-140 approval a prerequisite for I-485 approval?

Q3. If the petition for my I-130 is approved while I am in the US with a visa waiver (french passport) can I adjust my status?

Q4. If I got an I-130 approved while in removal proceedings, is it faster to seek adjustments with the judge or the USCIS?

Q5. Can I apply my marriage based green application online?

Q6. Can I use my approved advance parole when my I-140 application is still pending?

Q7. So is that a sign that I’m getting approved on my Green Card and my EAD card?

Q8. What happens to my I-130 petition if I withdraw my I-485?

Q9. & Q10. How long will my case take? What is my next step?
