Once again justifiably so because brothers, sisters, adopted children and spouses of immigrants are typically not local to the United States to begin with. Around 5%( unsubstantiated number) of people choose to get their green card through consular processing because either they choose to do so or because they are based outside continental United States when their green card gets approved.Īlso its pertinent to mention that almost all family based immigrants use consular processing to immigrate to the US. The vast majority of people in the employment based green card process choose to get their green cards via the adjustment of status route.Justifiably so because they are already based in the US and working for their sponsoring employer. The most highlighted difference in consular processing from a applicant perspective is that one needs to go for a consular interview on the lines of a B1/B2 or an H1B interview and one is granted an "immigrant visa" which then is regularized by the USCIS by way of the famous green card after the applicant enters the US with this immigrant visa. The process of "Adjustment of status" is owned and executed by the USCIS whereas "Consular processing" is an iterative handover of responsibilities and process ownership between the USCIS and the Department of State. The Employment Based green card process can conclude by way of adjustment of status( I-485) or by Consular processing. Previous US travel : Spent 80% of work life in US, but based in Bangalore now.
