Permanent Residence - Green Card Processing
You will need to decide between these three options for obtaining Permanent Residence (“Green Card”) along with obtaining Approval for EB-1A:
If in the United States, apply for adjustment of status along with your EB-1A visa at the time of filing. If you are doing this option, you should consider regular processing for the EB-1A.
Apply for the adjustment of status while in the United States after the approval of the EB-1A.
If outside the United States, apply for consular processing of Permanent Residence after the EB-1A is approved.

Standard Fee: $1,440 for applicants filing standalone applications.
Age-Specific Fees: Different fees may apply for applicants under the age of 14, typically lower to accommodate younger applicants.
