Adjustment of Status Cases | AG Immigration Law P.A.<\/h2>\n

If you are already in the United States, you may be able to get a green card without leaving the country. Adjustment of status lets a person physically present in the United States apply for a green card without going to a U.S. consulate abroad, unless the person is ineligible to apply for adjustment of status under the exceptions in paragraph (b) or (c) of the regulation, provided the applicant is eligible to receive an immigrant visa and an immigrant visa is immediately available at the time of filing. You file Form I-485 with USCIS, and the case is approved only if the legal requirements are met. This page explains the basics of adjustment of status and how AG Immigration Law P.A. handles these cases.<\/p>\n\n

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

Adjustment of status is the process of applying for a green card from inside the United States. The Migration Policy Institute<\/a> lists adjustment from another status among the main federal green-card pathways.<\/p>\n

Adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence is addressed in 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255<\/a>. It says the status of a person who was inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States, or who has an approved VAWA self-petition, may be adjusted to lawful permanent resident, at the Attorney General’s discretion, if three things are true. The person applies, the person is eligible for an immigrant visa and admissible for permanent residence, and an immigrant visa is immediately available when the application is filed.<\/p>\n

The regulation adds that a person physically present in the United States may apply, unless an exception applies. See 8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1245.1<\/a>.<\/p>\n
