Adjustment of Status
USCIS I-485
If you are already in the United States and eligible, we help you apply for permanent residence without leaving the country using Form I-485.
Who this is for
- You have an approved family petition, or one filed together with the I-485
- In most cases, you entered the U.S. with inspection (visa, parole or other admission)
- A visa is available in your category
A complete package
Adjustment of status usually includes several forms: I-485, I-864 (affidavit of support), I-693 (medical exam) and, if you want them, I-765 (work permit) and I-131 (travel permit) while your case is pending.
How you entered matters
Many people who entered without inspection cannot adjust inside the U.S. and must go through consular processing, sometimes with a waiver. We review your case before filing anything.
