Adjustment of Status Representation<\/h2>\n

Already living in the United States and hoping for a green card? You may be able to apply without leaving the country. That route is called adjustment of status.<\/p>\n

Adjustment of status is a filing with USCIS, made from inside the United States, to become a lawful permanent resident. Whether it fits your case turns on your category, your status history and how you entered. This guide covers the basics of adjustment of status for immigrants.<\/p>\n\n

\n

If you have a family or job petition in Orlando and want to know whether adjustment of status fits your case, reach out and let our team review your facts. Talk it through with our team — we can walk you through how a situation like yours is usually handled and what your options are.<\/p>

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

Adjustment of status is one way to get a green card without applying through a consulate abroad. The Migration Policy Institute<\/a> explains that adjustment from another status is one of the federal green card pathways.<\/p>\n

The applicant must file an application, be eligible for an immigrant visa and be admissible. An immigrant visa must be immediately available when the application is filed.<\/p>\n

You must also be physically present in the United States. 8 CFR 245.1(a)<\/a> sets out that rule.<\/p>\n

The law also has exceptions. Under 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1255(c)<\/a>, people in unlawful status on the filing date can fall outside this route, unless an exception applies.<\/p>\n

This route often suits people who hold a valid status and have an approved or pending family or employment petition. It also needs a close look for people with prior entry or status questions. Confirm your category before you file.<\/p>\n
