Employment-based green card: adjustment of status or consular processing

An approved employment-based petition or an available immigrant-visa number does not itself create a green card. The applicant must complete the applicable adjustment-of-status or immigrant-visa process, satisfy visa-availability and admissibility requirements, and become a lawful permanent resident only when the relevant application is approved or the applicant is admitted as an immigrant.
