| Consular Processing: How does it work? | ||||||||||||
|
Foreign
nationals have two paths to
lawful permanent residency, or
”green card” status: adjustment
of status and overseas consular
processing. Approximately 85%
of all employment based
immigrants elect the adjustment
of status path. This involves
filing an application for
immigrant status while
remaining entirely within the
United States. These
applications are processed
entirely by the U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration
Services Bureau. The remaining
15% of employment based
applicants elect the overseas
consular processing path.

will examine how relevant
experience can be evaluated as
the equivalent of a degree.

current priority date, be
transferred to a subsequent
immigrant petition that is
approved with a current
priority date?” The answer
provided was “In many
instances, the answer is yes.” |

| Three year bachelor's degrees |
|
Many colleges and universities outside the United States have three year bachelor’s degree programs, particularly those in the U.K. and the British Commonwealth. The principal difference between a three year and for year bachelor’s program is one year of general education, or “breadth” courses. |
