Frequently Asked Green Card Questions
The following answers address common issues, describe what to expect before starting an application, and explain how a consultation can help.
It’s possible, but your eligibility depends on how you entered the United States, your immigration history, and whether you qualify through a family member. Some cases require additional steps, such as waiver requests if there have been conflicting issues with your status. As your immigration attorney, we can review your record, identify any risks, and determine the safest way to apply.
Processing times vary depending on the type of application, the volume of cases in Chicago, and whether additional documentation is required. Delays also happen when filings are incomplete or require further review. A knowledgeable immigration attorney can monitor your case, respond to requests, and make sure your application avoids the most common and frustrating setbacks.
A Request for Evidence means USCIS needs additional information before making a decision on your case. Your response must be complete, accurate, and submitted by or before their deadline. Any missing documentation can lead to delays or even outright denial. At Gilliam Law, we emphasize preparation, organizing the required evidence, and submitting it in a way that supports approval in the vast majority of cases.
You may be eligible for work authorization while awaiting approval of your green card. However, this depends on your case type and immigration status. If you entered without inspection, overstayed your visa, have a criminal record, or face removal orders, consulting with an immigration attorney can help you maintain your ability to work while the green card process is still in flux.
