Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyThis will depend on the visa you have now. In many cases you can adjust status in the US however under some conditions this is not possible. For example if you are here on a student visa (F1), you may be able to adjust status in the US rather than go through consular processing. Each case is different and you should consult with an attorney about your individual circumstances.
