Hi Peter,

Thanks for doing this.

As far as I know, the IEP structure has no clear path to permanent residency like some of the other options. Is that your understanding as well or am I missing something here?

It's a common misconception that a nonimmigrant status somehow leads to a green card or limits the green card options in any way. There is no connection between the two. So someone in IEP "status" could pursue a green card but because IEP is not considered an admission, he or she would have to go the immigrant visa route through a US Consulate abroad rather than the adjustment of status route through USCIS.

What does IEP stand for?
