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

Adjustment of status is a request to become a lawful permanent resident while you stay in the United States. It differs from consular processing, where you apply at a U.S. consulate abroad.<\/p>\n

The main statute ties this route to a person who was inspected and admitted or paroled into the country, and a special immigrant described under section 101(a)(27)(J) of the Act shall be deemed, for the purpose of applying the adjustment to status provisions of section 245(a) of the Act, to have been paroled into the United States (8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a>). The person must also be eligible for an immigrant visa, admissible for permanent residence, and have a visa immediately available when filing (8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Some bars block filing. The statute bars adjustment for a person who works without authorization before filing, or who is in unlawful status on the filing date, other than an immediate relative or a special immigrant described in section 1101(a)(27)(H), (I), (J), or (K), or an alien having an approved petition for classification as a VAWA self-petitioner (8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a>). Immediate relatives are excluded from that bar. The statute also bars a person who has not kept lawful status since entry, other than an immediate relative or a special immigrant described in section 1101(a)(27)(H), (I), (J), or (K), unless the failure came through no fault of their own or for technical reasons, and other than an alien having an approved petition for classification as a VAWA self-petitioner (8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This route fits people living in Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Miramar and nearby areas who were inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States, or who have an approved petition for classification as a VAWA self-petitioner. Eligibility depends on the facts: how you entered, your status history, and your work history.<\/p>\n
