Eligibility Criteria

There are several categories in which an individual may be eligible to adjust their immigration status. These include family-based categories and other specific situations. For family-based adjustments, an individual must be either a spouse, parent, or unmarried child (under 21 years old) of a U.S. citizen or a spouse or unmarried child (under 21 years old) of a lawful permanent resident (LPR).

Other categories, such as employment-based adjustments or refugee/asylee status adjustments may also apply. To assess your specific eligibility, we recommend seeking professional guidance from our experienced team of immigration lawyers.

Documentation Requirements

Applicants seeking adjustment of status must provide certain documentation. Some common forms may include:

1. Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status
