Adjustment of Status
Adjustment of Status
Adjustment of Status (AOS) is the legal process that allows eligible individuals already present in the United States to apply for lawful permanent resident (Green Card) status without having to return to their home country for visa processing. This pathway is available to those who qualify under various categories such as family sponsorship, employment, asylum, or other special immigration programs.
The adjustment process involves filing Form I-485 with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), accompanied by supporting documentation to prove eligibility, admissibility, and compliance with immigration laws. USCIS will review the application, conduct background checks, and may require an interview before approving permanent residency.
Our experienced immigration attorneys at Pardalis & Nohavicka assist clients throughout the entire adjustment process, from evaluating eligibility and preparing thorough applications to representing clients in interviews and addressing Requests for Evidence (RFEs). We help you navigate complex procedural requirements and avoid common pitfalls that can delay or jeopardize your case.
Adjustment of Status offers many benefits, including the ability to remain legally in the U.S. while your application is pending and, in many cases, the opportunity to obtain employment authorization and travel permits during processing.
