[b][Provo, 05/23/2017][/b] – The consequences of violating immigration laws motivate Buhler Thomas Law, P.C. to assist clients through its complexities. With more than 20 years of experience, the Provo-based firm handles immigration matters for businesses, foreign nationals, and universities.
One of the areas the law firm focuses on is adjustment of status and consular processing for employment-based immigration.

According to the law firm, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) allows the change of an individual’s immigration status while the person is still on US soil. Individuals applicable under this ruling are immigrants, non-immigrants, parolees, and other individuals who meet the required qualifications for a green card.

“Adjustment of status is the process by which an eligible individual already in the United States can get permanent resident status (a green card) without having to return to their home country to complete visa processing,” adds Buhler Thomas Law.

The law firm provides a brief guide on the steps to adjustment of status:

• Determining the client’s grounds for immigration.
• Filing the immigration petition.
• Checking of visa availability.
• Filing From I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residency or adjust status.
• Going to Application Support Centers, interviews, and receiving the final decision in the mail.

Non-immigrants living outside of the US who wish to obtain a visa, on the other hand, may consider consular processing. According to Buhler Thomas Law, the process is straightforward, but applicants need to take their time in following procedures and preparing proper documents. The Provo law firm reminds clients that consulates of different countries may be different.
The consular processing procedure’s interview is also a crucial area, says the law firm. To ensure clients will do well, it helps applicants with the preparation for potentially invasive yet necessary questions.
