The application is Form I-485, filed with USCIS. Whether you qualify depends on how you were admitted, your immigration history and the basis for your green card. This guide explains the process for Florida applicants and how an adjustment of status attorney Florida can help.<\/p>\n<h2>What Adjustment of Status Is and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n<p>Adjustment of status is how you become a lawful permanent resident, or green card holder, without leaving the United States to apply abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1255\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a>, status can be adjusted if you file an application, are eligible for an immigrant visa and are admissible, and a visa is immediately available when you file. The main test starts with whether you were inspected and admitted or paroled into the country; an alien with an approved petition for classification as a VAWA self-petitioner may also be adjusted.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-245.1\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 245.1<\/a> says a person physically present in the U.S. may apply if eligible, unless an exception applies.<\/p>\n<p>Adjustment may fit people in these groups:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Family-based cases:<\/strong> a green card basis from a petition by a U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employment-based cases:<\/strong> a green card basis from an employer&#8217;s petition. Applicants who are not maintaining lawful nonimmigrant status when they file may be barred under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1255\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255(c)(7)<\/a>, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1255\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255(k)<\/a> allows certain employment-based applicants who were lawfully admitted and present on the filing date to adjust status notwithstanding that bar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other histories:<\/strong> cases where an initial review shows an adjustment request is possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adjustment can also be requested inside removal proceedings before an immigration judge. That overlap is why AG Immigration Law P.A. focuses on adjustment of status alongside removal defense, family petitions, naturalization, removal of conditions on green cards, waivers and BIA appeals.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#x27;re in Florida and weighing a green card application from inside the U.S., reach out to our team to book a paid consultation about your case.

Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1255\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a>, unauthorized work before filing or unlawful status on the filing date can block adjustment. The statute makes exceptions for many immediate relatives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Form I-485 package.<\/strong> We prepare the application, civil documents and supporting evidence for filing with USCIS.<\/li>\n<li>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-245.5\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 245.5<\/a>, applicants must have an exam by a designated civil surgeon, and that report goes into the record; a medical examination is not required of an applicant who entered the United States as a nonimmigrant spouse, fianc\u00e9, or fianc\u00e9e of a United States citizen, or the child of such an alien, if the applicant was medically examined prior to, and as a condition of, the issuance of the nonimmigrant visa, provided the examination occurred not more than 1 year prior to the date of application for adjustment of status.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Biometrics.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-103.16\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 103.16<\/a> lets DHS require biometric information for background checks and benefit decisions.

The fee is explained before you schedule.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document review.<\/strong> You bring passports, entry records, earlier USCIS and immigration court papers, and any petitioner documents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Filing plan.<\/strong> We identify the correct basis for filing, the forms required and whether a waiver is needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preparation and filing.<\/strong> We assemble the Form I-485 package and fee payment and submit it to USCIS.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Biometrics, medical exam and interview.<\/strong> Each appearance has its own steps, and we prepare you for them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decision.<\/strong> If USCIS denies the application, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-245.2\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 245.2<\/a> says no appeal lies from that denial. A non-arriving applicant keeps the right to renew the application in removal proceedings under 8 CFR part 240. If approved, residence is recorded as of the date of the approval order.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Timeline, Costs and What Affects Them<\/h2>\n<p>Timing and cost vary by case. USCIS sets its own processing times, and the office does not control them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Before filing:<\/strong> gathering documents and, for some bases, waiting on a related petition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>After filing:<\/strong> biometrics, interview scheduling and the decision.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Government fees:<\/strong> these are separate from attorney fees. For adjustment applications filed in immigration court, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1812\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1812<\/a> requires the fee at filing or before adjudication.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Removal cases:<\/strong> under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229b\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229b<\/a>, certain abused spouses and children who apply for cancellation of removal must show at least 3 years of continuous physical presence in the United States immediately preceding the date of application. For these abused spouses and children, the issuance of a charging document for removal proceedings does not stop the 3-year period of continuous physical presence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other timing factors:<\/strong> missing documents, requests for evidence, travel and an open removal case.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each case turns on its own facts.
