28 Questions Answered
Q. should i seek a new attorney for the adjustment or stay the course.?
A: You may want to interview other attorneys to have a better understanding of your past experience. This may help you decide if you feel comfortable continuing with your current representative or hire a new one. The green card process is stressful and costly enough; and ideally you want to move forward with the second part of the process at ease and comfortable with your legal representative.

Q. Is form i-824 a must to get to the NVC, or is it just a way of expediting?
A: Hello, Form I-864 is a requirement when adjusting status in the US. If you would have chosen the consular process in your I-130, you would have to submit the I-864 directly to the NVC. In either scenario, the I-864 is required.
