Is there any difference in applying for a green card at the U.S. Embassy abroad, as opposed to applying in the United States ?
If one has filed for a green card in the category of a job offer or investment, these categories are known as “employment-based immigration,” there are no immigration interviews, generally. A work permit can be issued before you are approved for the green card. Under certain circumstances, while your application is pending, you can obtain special permission to leave the U.S. until the formal approval of the green card. If you apply overseas, political considerations may make the U.S. embassy officers refuse to follow the law. While applying in the United States, you will have an attorney fighting for your approval at every step and you will be able to take comfort that you will be in a safe country.
