USCIS sets the timelines and they vary. On average, between 12 and 24 months for many cases, though it can be longer. Check current processing times at uscis.gov before planning.

Yes, if you file the work permit form together with the adjustment. In many cases it can be requested at the same time, reducing the wait to work legally.

Traveling without a valid re-entry document (advance parole) can affect your adjustment case. The travel permit can be requested with the adjustment package. Do not travel without confirming first.

León & Asociados helps you organize responses to RFEs. Depending on scope, an additional charge may apply; we inform you clearly before proceeding.

No. L&A handles document preparation and organization per USCIS instructions; it does not provide legal representation. For representation, we refer you to a licensed immigration attorney.

No. For immigration matters we prepare forms and documents: we organize and prepare your documentation with method. We do not give legal advice or represent you before USCIS. If your case needs a legal determination, a licensed immigration attorney makes it, not us.

No, and no honest provider can: the decision belongs to the authority reviewing your case. What we do stand behind is our work: a complete, organized file reviewed before it is filed.

No. The USCIS fee is paid separately, to the government; we process that payment on your behalf when filing. Our fee covers preparing your documentation. The investment section of this page shows both separately.
