Apply for Your Green Card Without Leaving the United States
If you are already in the United States and qualify for permanent residency, an Adjustment of Status (AOS) allows you to apply for a Green Card without returning to your home country for consular processing. While the process may seem straightforward, even minor errors can lead to delays, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), or denials. Working with an experienced adjustment of status lawyer can help you avoid costly mistakes and protect your future.Â
Â
At Gehi & Associates, our immigration attorneys have helped thousands of individuals and families pursue lawful permanent residence through family-based, employment-based, humanitarian, and other immigration pathways. We guide clients through every stage of the Adjustment of Status process with personalized legal strategies and dedicated representation.Â
What is an Adjustment of Status?
Adjustment of Status is the legal process that allows certain eligible individuals already present in the United States to become lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) without leaving the country. The application is typically filed with USCIS using Form I-485, along with supporting documentation and any required petitions.Â
Whether you entered the U.S. on a temporary visa or qualify through another immigration category, determining your eligibility requires careful legal analysis.Â
Who May Qualify for Adjustment of Status?
You may be eligible if you qualify under one of the following categories:Â
- Immediate relatives of U.S. citizensÂ
- Family-sponsored immigrationÂ
- Employment-based immigrationÂ
- Asylees and refugeesÂ
- Special immigrant categoriesÂ
- VAWA self-petitionersÂ
- U Visa or T Visa holdersÂ
- Certain humanitarian programsÂ
- Other immigration categories permitted under U.S. immigration lawÂ
