What is an Adjustment of Status?

According to the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), an adjustment of status is an application that can be filed by a foreign national in the country temporarily to change their status from a non-immigrant to a lawful permanent resident. Successful filing and approval of this application earns the individual a green card, allowing them to live and work indefinitely in the United States as a legal permanent resident. 

To be eligible for adjustment of status, you:

• Must be physically present in the U.S.
• Must have entered the country legally
• Have already received approval for a visa petition (such as a family or work visa)
• Are not facing pending removal proceedings 
• Do not have a criminal record
• You must remain eligible for permanent residency during the application process

In some cases, illegal immigrants can also apply for adjustment of status, provided they meet certain criteria. In order to ensure the best chance for a successful filing and approval, we advise you to contact our legal team to set up a free consultation.  We will review your situation, advise you on the steps you need to take, and navigate you through the difficulties of the process.
