What is the difference between Adjustment of Status and Consular Processing?


  • I am currently in the process of filing the I-140 Petition for Alien Worker under the EB-3 visa category. I am wondering what the difference is between these two options and which one should I choose.



  • How long did it take you to process your PERM application? Personally, it took me about a year. My brother and I are also at this stage now and we personally chose Consular Processing. We saw a video on this topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTWnUs3ZHb8 . It says that it is better to choose the second option, because it is potentially faster for obtaining permanent residency. You can watch it and decide what is better for you personally.
