Adjustment of Status: Green Card Help<\/h2>\n

Adjustment of status lets certain people in the United States apply for a green card without going abroad. You file with USCIS, and the statute sets out who may apply. This page explains the process and what can change your plan. If you already have a pending case, an early review helps you plan the next filing.<\/p>\n\n

What adjustment of status is and who it is for<\/h2>\n

Adjustment of status is a path to lawful permanent residence from inside the United States for certain people, including those who were inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States or who have an approved VAWA self-petition. Under 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a>, the status of an alien who was inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States, or of any other alien having an approved VAWA self-petitioner classification, may be adjusted in the Attorney General’s discretion if you apply, you are eligible for an immigrant visa and admissible, and an immigrant visa is immediately available when you file.<\/p>\n

Many cases start with a family or employment petition. The petition rules appear in 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1154<\/a>. This page is for people who have a petition pending, who received a request or denial from USCIS, or who are in removal proceedings.<\/p>\n

Your entry history matters first. Section 1255(a) covers people who were inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States, and any alien with an approved petition for classification as a VAWA self-petitioner. If you entered without inspection, the path works differently, so a full review comes first.<\/p>\n

Visa timing matters too. For many family and employment cases, your priority date must be earlier than the date shown in the Department of State’s Visa Bulletin, or your category must show current numbers. 8 CFR 245.1<\/a> provides that an immigrant visa must be immediately available at the time of filing of the application.<\/p>\n
