Adjustment of Status

Adjustment of status allows eligible individuals already in the U.S. to apply for permanent residency (a green card) without needing to return to their home country. Whether applying through a family based petition or employment sponsorship, we offer tailored legal support to navigate the process efficiently. Our experienced legal team provides guidance throughout the entire process, ensuring a smooth transition from eligibility assessment to final approval.

Applying for adjustment of status involves a detailed process with multiple forms, documentation requirements, and procedural steps. Once your application is submitted, additional steps may be required, including biometrics collection and a potential interview. We guide you through each stage to ensure you are well-prepared.

If you are in the U.S. and have a qualifying family relationship with a U.S. citizen or green card holder, you may be eligible to adjust your status to permanent resident.
Foreign nationals already in the U.S. on valid visas may adjust status if sponsored by a U.S. employer and meet job and eligibility requirements.
After marrying your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) within 90 days of entering on a K-1 visa, you can apply to adjust your status without leaving the U.S.
If you’ve been granted asylum or admitted as a refugee and have lived in the U.S. for at least one year, you can apply to adjust your status to permanent resident.
DV lottery winners already in the U.S. on a valid visa can apply for adjustment of status instead of consular processing abroad.
Additional pathways may be available depending on your background, visa history, or specific circumstances. We assess each case individually to determine the best route forward.
