Understanding Adjustment of Status

As mentioned, adjustment of status is a way for you to become a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) without having to return to your home country. Importantly, adjustment of status may only be an option if you have been admitted to the US with a valid visa or parole documents.

Who Is Eligible for Adjustment of Status?

Adjustment of status is a complex process, and the eligibility requirements vary depending on your current immigration status.

Adjustment of status is often available to:

Immediate relatives of US citizens, including spouses, unmarried children younger than 21, and parents of US citizens older than 21
Other relatives of US citizens or lawful permanent residents
Fiancé(e)s of US citizens and their children
Widow(er)s of US citizens
Those protected by humanitarian programs under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)

Of course, these eligibility categories have further specifications and are subject to changes in US immigration law. If you work with our lawyers, one of the first things we will do is determine your eligibility for adjustment of status or assess whether other options, such as consular processing, may be more appropriate for your situation.

The Process of Adjusting Your Status

Adjusting your immigration status can be lengthy and complex, requiring numerous forms and supporting documents. Below is an overview of what you may expect:

You will submit a petition and a Green Card application (Form I-485) to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Depending on your situation, you will likely need someone else (your US citizen or lawful permanent resident sponsor) to submit the petition.
You may need to determine if a visa is available to you. This applies to those seeking adjustment of status through a family member, employer, or another applicable category. Visas for immediate family members are unlimited.
You must visit an Application Support Center (ASC) to provide biometrics (e.g., fingerprints and photos) to USCIS.
You could be called for an interview where you will answer questions under oath about your background, residence history, criminal record, and more.
Pending everything is in order, USCIS will mail you a notification of its decision on your case. If yours is approved, you will receive your Green Card later on. Should you be denied adjustment of status, your letter will explain why. Often, you can appeal a denial.
