ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS

ORANGE ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS ATTORNEYS

Serving Immigrants in Orange County & Los Angeles County

Adjustment of status is the legal process whereby you can apply for a green card to become a lawful permanent resident when you have already entered the U.S. as a nonimmigrant on a temporary visa. This process allows you to apply for permanent status from within the U.S. without having to return to your home country. Individuals who are outside the country must apply for a visa through a consulate in their home country.

The Adjustment of Status Process

To adjust your temporary status to a permanent one, you must meet certain eligibility requirements. Also, if you are applying under a category that has an annual cap, you will need to have a visa number.

 

To adjust your status, you must be eligible under one of the categories that allow green cards. You can apply:

​

  • Through a family member

  • Through employment

  • As a special immigrant

  • As a refugee or asylee

  • As a victim of human trafficking

  • As a victim of abuse

 

Family-based adjustment of status is one of the most common methods. In most adjustment of status cases, either you or someone else is required to file a petition with the government. There are two categories for an adjustment of status through family. One is through an immediate family member, such as a spouse, parent, or child of a U.S. citizen. The other is through family preference categories for both U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
