Already living in the United States and hoping for a green card? If you are already in the United States, you may not need to leave the country to begin the process. That process is called adjustment of status.<\/p>\n

An eligible person can ask to become a lawful permanent resident through this process. An applicant who was inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States (or who has an approved VAWA self-petition) may be granted adjustment, in the government’s discretion, if the applicant files an application, is eligible for an immigrant visa, is admissible, and has an immigrant visa immediately available when filing. Except for VAWA self-petitioners, this does not apply to certain people, such as alien crewmen, people admitted in transit without a visa, and visitors admitted without a visa (other than immediate relatives).<\/p>\n\n
