What Adjustment of Status Is and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n

Adjustment of status is how you apply for a green card while you are inside the United States. You file Form I-485 with USCIS instead of going to a consular interview abroad. This page explains the basics of adjustment of status for readers across the US who are weighing this option against their own situation.<\/p>\n

The law sets three basic tests. To adjust status under 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255(a)<\/a>, the applicant must have been inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States, or have an approved VAWA self-petition. In addition, the applicant must file an application, be eligible to receive an immigrant visa and admissible to the United States for permanent residence, and have an immigrant visa immediately available at the time the application is filed.<\/p>\n

People usually reach this route through a family petition, an employment-based petition, or another eligible basis. Eligibility depends on your current status and your full immigration history. Having a spouse who is a citizen or green card holder helps, since that person may file a petition on behalf of a spouse, but it does not settle the question by itself.<\/p>\n

What an Adjustment of Status Case Covers<\/h2>\n

An adjustment of status case covers eligibility review, the filing package, and the steps that follow filing. Each part matters, and a gap in one part can slow the whole case.<\/p>\n
