PDF Filler Beats Adobe Sign For Me I have used PDF Filler for about three years now and their customer service and platform are wonderful. Previously, I was using Adobe Sign but I found it way too expensive and cumbersome to use. Their customer support team always seems to be available and if any issues arise, they get solved quickly which is very important for me as a business owner. I highly recommend them.

You may use Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers, to ask USCIS to classify a noncitizen as someone who is eligible for an immigrant visa based on employment. The employer generally files Form I-140 for the noncitizen.
(Normally, the employer files the I-140, but you can self-file your I-140 under certain categories, such as Aliens of Extraordinary Ability and National Interest Waiver.) Also, the concurrent filing rule allows you, your spouse, and children to file your I-485s while a previously filed I-140 is still pending.
This can be difficult to establish once an I-140 has been filed. Inconvenience/cost. The primary disadvantage is the inconvenience and expense of traveling to the American Consulate to appear for the required interview. All applicants for an immigrant visa must be interviewed at a foreign post.
The process involves completion of immigration forms, payment of filing fees, gathering further documentation of your status and job position, and attending an interview at the designated U.S. embassy or consulate typically in your country of citizenship.
